addressing that. that is important but goods data is imperative. thank you very much. >> fcc commissioners met at their headquarters in washington, d.c. protesters outside call for preserving net neutrality rules for the internet. senators ron wyden and edinburgh quay along with representatives spoke at the rally. good morning everybody. we are here to save net neutrality. we have a a few special guests that i want to make sure that our champions of the people that are fighting every day all the way over there on capitol hill for the free and open internet are heard from. they've been sick debate for sticking up for net neutrality

and no one has been doing that more than senator wyden from the state of oregon. my colleagues are so kind to let me do this. we have one's before it is time to win again. i know all of our friends are going to freely hammer this home. thanks, everybody.

now we want senator ed markey for massachusetts. he stood up every day when he was in the white house and the senate and has been the outspoken champion for net neutrality for so many other consumer issues and they are so glad he came down here today. senator markey. >> of the debate that we are here to begin as began as a der democracy itself. it's over whether or not we are going to have a free and open internet for all voices and

competitors to be able to participate in the. of the fcc, the trump administration at the behest of a small number of corporate behemoths who want to limit the new competitors who can get into the internet marketplace and wants to ensure they have to pay more than those who are already powerful to gain access. what we have here today are the internet's nature of the superheroes who are going to conduct a campaign that will ensure millions of americans are

able to talk to their own government. i would say right now that the trump administration has no idea what they are about to unleash in this country. he had no idea what he was unleashing when he fired james comey. he doesn't understand what is going to be unleashed that may begin to try to dismantle the net neutrality. we are here to save you have allies in the house and the senate but more importantly we have tens of millions across this country who are going to ensure that the voices of those that are not powerful are going to be heard here in washington, d.c.. it begins here today.

we thank every one of the groups that are represented here because this is the beginning of this historic fight. 4 million people talk to the fcc about this rulemaking. [applause] 4 million people posting like a drop in the bucket with regards to how many people are going to talk to the trump fcc because we cannot afford to to have this freewheeling open source of democratic speech to be shut down by the corporate behemoths for those the battle begins here and we will take it to ensure

everyone in our country has an equal voice on the internet. [applause] [cheering] >> now i want to welcome another champion a house of representatives member from colorado who understands the power of the open internet for innovation, start us and the pursuit of justice. i'm thrilled to join senator markey, senator wyden and others. it's not just us when the fcc opens up the rule for the comment over a million people wrote in supporting net neutrality. that shows a broad support for keeping the free and open internet on the other side of the fcc heard 440,000 comments

using the identities and a lot of the stolen identities were against net neutrality but look, the intranet is a crowd of human achievement. what a wonderful thing to bring to economic prosperity and it we all care about access and all of our friends should have a reasonable ally so people can continue to have access but that is not where the magic is that it is in the content into one of the reasons it has been so dynamic is that the server for tomorrow's great start up has an ability to be accessed around the world than today' in today'a conglomerates and that is what we do i and the disruption innovation to characterize the internet. if the fcc moves to roll back

the regulations it opens up the door of dividing the internet on any of this e." in content to rise to the content for users to have access to whatever they want to access the. that's why i send a message to the american public we need to pay attention and protect the free and open internet. thank you for joining us in solidarity and i hope that you hear what we are saying.

a member willing to stand up for what she believes in and is proud to represent the area in oakland which is also a place people are fighting for the free and open internet so i want to welcome congresswoman barbara lee. [applause] we must let the commissioners hear us loud and clear if we want to keep it free, fair and open.

many of my constituents are outraged by what is taking place here. we have people that rely on the internet for their livelihood and wants to engage in with the free press. it is important as we say in california. it's preserved the rights and we must understand that all people need access to the free internet we will not let corporate america take over the free press. i just want to thank you again for being here.

the opebe open and transmits ney remains and we will not let donald trump and republicans roll back their access so thank you again very much.

the press was set up in new jersey to paper money for the colony and the legislature wanted it closed and at the time they did that they also did this book. in a conversation with the author of crossroads of the revolution 1774 to 1783.

it was very instrumental in helping to accomplish that goal. they are part of the fabric of what makes trenton so when you drive across the bridge and see from the other side gave her evidence to that will elect a

new parliament on june 8. if the labour party launched their campaign and unveiled a political positions of the european union and jobs. the party leader talked about the agenda and the campaign event in england. this is 45 minutes.
