Hello!
I know this is all everybody can talk about online right now, but net neutrality is a very important thing right now. People say that it is only affecting people in the U.S, but I'm sure ISPs in other nations will see what they are doing and try to do the same things.
If these evil companies try to slow down the Web for their customers and only give them access to specific sites based on their package, small sites like mine will be affected! That'll encourage everyone to just join a boring old social network. You wouldn't be able to read this blog, either.
All of your favourite sites will be blocked by what is essentially a pay wall. I saw someone on Reddit yesterday say that it was like adding micro transactions to the Internet. If we can protest as much as everybody did when EA decided to add stupid micro transactions to Star Wars Battlefront 2, then we can maybe put a stop to the evil plans of these companies, or at least push them back by a few years.
Even if you live somewhere else and won't be affected, just help fight for Net Neutrality anyway. It's pretty fun to raise awareness for this issue.
Or maybe you just don't care. It might actually get people off of the Internet for once. But small businesses will lose money because their websites may be blocked. You don't want that to happen, do you?

:) I'm sure we can stop this if we fight together...
