American Commitment to slow fed takeover of internetBy: Human Events, 9/10/2014 12:26 PM From American Commitment: American Commitment Mobilizes Millions to Answer Dishonest “Slowdown” Ploy and Stop a Federal Takeover of the Internet Washington, D.C.—American Commitment, a national advocacy organization, has launched a massive effort to combat the dishonest “slowdown” campaign that liberal activists have announced to demand the FCC “reclassify” the Internet as a “public utility” subject to pervasive regulatory control. American Commitment has already reached over two million people via social media this week and is today asking each of its 200,000 citizen-activists to send at least five people to its www.StopInternetRegulation.org petition site in a massive effort to send hundreds of thousands of citizen comments to the FCC to STOP proposals to regulate the Internet the current comment period closes on September 15. “A federal takeover of the Internet would be disastrous for free speech, commerce, and the future of the Internet as a sphere of innovation,” said Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment. “The American people oppose Washington’s effort to put unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in control of the internet—which will create higher prices, less competition, and less freedom.” humanevents.com/2014/09/10/american-commitment-looks-to-slow-fed-takeover-of-internet/
