Issue an Executive Order declaring Internet Service to be a common carrier.

Created by J.T. on May 16, 2014

Obama promised to protect the internet. He is relying on the FCC to do it, they are not doing their job. Their proposed rules 'allowing' ISPs to charge for a fast lane is a direct threat to the internet as we know it.

The most effective way to protect the internet is to reclassify it as a common carrier, just like phone service.

The most direct way to this result would be for Obama to issue an Executive Order declaring this. The entire debate could be over in one day.

There are other petitions on this topic, none of which could solve the problem as quickly and efficiently as an Executive Order.
