Say NO to Net Neutrality

Dear Randy,
I'm Very Much Opposed to the concept of Internet Neutrality.
In a Wall Street Journal piece out just recently, we learn the FCC has gone rogue on the issue and is completely bypassing Congress in an effort to grab control over the web.
It's detestable to me that the FCC thinks it can bypass the will of the people by bypassing the authority of Congress...!
Congress and "we the People" should be very much opposed to the FCC increasing its power by using the phone monopoly laws, directly or indirectly regulating rates or expanding its reach deeper into mobile broadband services.
Congress and the American People must NOT allow the FCC to bypass branches of our government in the dogged pursuit of needless and harmful regulation.
This battle is NOT an argument about the price consumers would pay for access to the web.
If the FCC is granted oversight and control on pricing, there will be very little standing in the way of expansion into communication through the web itself.
It's important to remember that without the web, the tea party movement would not exist. It was people like me in the Tea Party movement, using the internet for important information, who have given control of the U.S. House of Representatives back to Republicans.
Randy,
Thank you so much for what you have done to strengthen the conservative representation in Washington.
Gratefully,
Dr. Chris Albritton
