The specific question at hand is very simple. DO you believe your Internet Service Provider should be allowed to block, slow, or otherwise interfere with your desire to visit any legal, registered website of your choosing? This is a rhetorical question for anyone remotely interested in living in a consumer-empowered nation.
Our resident conservatives warn about the government determining where we can go on the internet. There is absolutely nothing in the proposed policy that constitutes that. Not one thing...but that's the strawman they point to - Something that's not even in the policy. Next thing you know they will be arguing against the death panels in Obamacare
By not having net-neutrality your ISP may determine where you go on the internet. I cant possibly imagine the argument to defend such control - especially from people who just got done complaining about having their access controlled. But then again, Obama is for net neutrality so that trumps everything.

The Obama administration said that it would not let the public see its 332 page net neutrality plan until after the FCC voted on its implementation. How can you make ANY claims about what it is or what it does?
