Hello,
As many of you have been following in the news, my office recently introduced a new Bill, designed to protect the fair pricing of internet access. This Bill came as a result of literally thousands of grassroots supporters, demanding action on the unfair billing scheme proposed by a local monopolistic internet access provider. This scheme, if enacted, would have tripled internet bills for local individuals, small businesses, and educational institutions. You can watch this YouTube video for more information (click here) . Today, when access to the internet and the free flow of information is so critical to our national economic structure and new business creation, this plan would have had very profound and negative consequences in my district and around the Country. Knowing this, my office acted quickly to craft legislation that would prevent this billing increase and promote increased competition for internet access providers. I believe our solution will protect local internet consumers, save jobs, and serve as a model for how Government should act to protect individuals from abuses at the hands of corporate monopolies.

When people complain that Government doesn't stand up for them, my reply is that it just did. This Bill is an example of Congress listening to constituents, and crafting good legislation in response to their needs. I am proud to represent you, and as long as I am in office, I will continue to listen to you and fight for you. Now, regretfully, I have to ask you for your help. The worst part of politics is the never-ending solicitation for campaign contributions, but in order to win re-election and continue fighting on your behalf I need to raise money. If you want elected officials to stand up for you, as we did on this Bill, then you need to help us stay in office. A $100, $50, or even $25 contribution goes a long way in keeping our campaign strong and ready to win. You can click here to donate securely online (click here) . Thank you for your support, and please know that your help today is deeply appreciated.
Warmest Regards,
Eric
