Senator Bernie Sanders Statement on Net Neutrality


BURLINGTON, Vt.–(ENEWSPF)–April 24 – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement today in response to a Federal Communications Commission proposal to let companies pay for faster delivery over the Internet:

“Under this terribly misguided proposal, the Internet as we have come to know it would cease to exist and the average American would be the big loser. We must not let private corporations turn bigger and bigger profits by putting a price tag on the free flow of ideas.

“Our free and open Internet has made invaluable contributions to democracy both here in the United States and around the world. Whether you are rich, poor, young or old, the Internet allows all people to seek out information and communicate globally. We must not turn over our democracy to the highest bidder.”
