Responding to the Action Alert of this afternoon, I sent the suggested email to my congressman, Rep. Ander Crenshaw. It's interesting to note that he did not directly address the legislation that the action alert was about, but addressed an older measure that had been introduced in the Senate.

Quoted here, is Rep. Ander Crenshaw's (R-FL-4thDist) response to me

Dear Robert:

Thank
you for contacting me to express your opinion regarding "net neutrality". I appreciate you taking the
time to share your thoughts with me on this matter.

As
you may be aware, Senator Byron Dorgan introduced S. 215 on January 9,
2007 to regulate internet service
providers and prevent them from prioritizing the traffic to some Web sites over others - sometimes referred
to as "net neutrality." Freedom has been the hallmark of the Internet since its inception, and I believe
this so called "net neutrality" threatens to destroy the very principles
that have made the Internet so successful.

The
Internet has benefited greatly from the absence of regulatory restrictions.
Beginning to implement restrictions
now would have a detrimental impact. Americans are used to comparison
shopping. From the cars we drive to the clothes we wear, consumers
are accustomed to having the opportunity to shop around for the
best deal and finding a product
that best suits them. As we all know, healthy competition will continue to
foster new services at affordable prices.

Unfortunately,
net neutrality would ultimately limit competition by instituting
Federal regulations on how internet providers choose to supply
their services. As this important issue continues to be debated
here in Congress, rest assured that I will keep your views and thoughts in mind.

Again,
I want to thank you for taking the time to contact me. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of
any further assistance on this matter or if you would like additional
information on this topic or other issues facing Congress, please visit my Website at http://crenshaw.house.gov.

Sincerely,

Ander
Crenshaw

Member
of Congress
