The COPE bill would:

 

  • Place control of the Internet in the hands of few powerful corporations;
  • Transform the Information Superhighway into a toll road, where only the rich get unfettered access to all that the Internet has to offer;
  • Vastly increase special interest monopoly power;
  • End consumer protections against abuses by cable companies;
  • Allow cable and phone companies to raise the prices in poor neighborhoods, while giving special deals to the affluent;
  • Expand the "digital divide" that puts the poor, racial and ethnic minorities and rural families at a disadvantage; and
  • Stifle innovation and economic growth, because it will be too costly for any new Googles or eBays to draw customers to their websites.

 

Please urge your member of Congress to vote NO on COPE.
