Fire the FCC chairman
I am writing to ask that you support removing FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler from his position. I believe that he is unfit to continue serving as FCC chair for several reasons, including the following:
▪ He has refused to respond appropriately to the public commentary and outcry over his stance on net neutrality, including the creation of “fast lanes” for ISPs.
▪ He has failed to acknowledge that Internet usage is a common utility and that ISPs should be classified as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934.
▪ His actions have shown a concerning pattern of supporting the interests of his past business associates over the interests of the public and the common good.
Given these facts, it is clear that he is unfit to represent the public’s interest in his current position. I ask that you lobby the president to remove him from his appointment immediately.
