Dear Richard,

A couple weeks ago, I told you that Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski had released a proposal on net neutrality--but that we didn't have enough of the details to know whether it was a strong one.

Unfortunately, now that we've got more information about his proposal, it's becoming clear that without significant changes it would take us in the wrong direction.

Although the Obama administration is on record as supporting net neutrality, the draft leaves far too many loopholes for corporations to prioritize certain content on the Internet, and even legitimizes some discriminatory behavior.

In short, as it's currently written, it's worse than nothing.

Rest assured, I won't settle for regulations that do more harm than good. And I won't stop fighting until we have real net neutrality.

Thanks for sticking with me in that fight.

Al! If i may
you're fighting with him too much
you're both good guys
it's probably lack of communication
anyway,

*if* there are too many loop-holes, then obama knows that, or he estimated the problem differently in his position.. more information, different information, different pressures, more knowledge of the things he's balancing, different ways of anticipating the future, different links with the companies in question, and so and so on..

i would recommend you talk to him - despite my recommendation that you become president someday. ;]

i'm listening more, and i see it: you just want to tell him this. is he listening? apparently not or your essay would be different.

or you're making a bottom-line judgement, in the meantime, which goes, 'how anarcho-capitalistic is obama' and/or the same for julius. personally i'd go for socialism and so would einstein, but we work with what we got.. and who knows what's on obama's mind, that's part of his grace & power.

anyway, i could *probably* talk to miranda who could *probably* talk to obama if you want to talk to obama, but that all depends on whether i could *probably* talk back to you with this message.. hehe no j/k i'll tell her.
