Jeanne Shaheen’s campaign emailed me a statement.

“I support net neutrality and its promise of equal access to the information that is so vital to our lives on the internet.

The internet’s role in our daily lives has grown exponentially in the last dozen years. It has created opportunities that we could not even imagine before:  children,  in their homes and classrooms, can study the universe as if they were visiting in a NASA telescope,  families can read about medical advances as if they are sitting in the best medical libraries, and  small businesses can find suppliers and buyers across the country and compete with larger corporations.  

On the internet we choose what we read, unmediated by the preferences of governments or businesses. I support our equal access to this information and will continue to do so when I am in the US Senate representing the people of New Hampshire.”

And here’s Ronnie Musgrove:

“In such a short time, the internet has developed into a key tool for our free society. It has driven economic development, enabled innovation, stimulated political discussion and provided new forums for the exercise of our First Amendment right of free speech. Net Neutrality is vital to keeping the internet free and open, and protecting access to its information for all Mississippians and Americans.”
