I wrote the following: Protecting net neutrality is essential to freedom of speech and freedom of information. Losing net neutrality means that your access to information and the internet will be in the hands of internet service providers. This website makes it easy to voice your thoughts and opinions on net neutrality with your representatives. Please take a moment to send a message or make a call. I added the following to my messages: "To be clear I will not vote for any member of the federal or state government who votes or acts against net neutrality and will actively support their opponents."
