Net Neutrality and Equal Access

As a small third party, we know what it's like to be blocked and throttled by the behemoths in charge. Still, we believe that our ideas make us great—and, we aim to compete in the marketplace based on the content of our ideas. Not our ability to curry favor. Not access to the pipes.

Net neutrality embodies these principles. It is, in essence, a battle over two forms of competition: competition among carriers (the "pipes") and competition among content providers. Content providers are expressive, representing the diverse perspectives of our community—including small businesses, non-profits, and educational and religious organizations. Competition among content providers cannot be meaningful if there is unequal access to the pipes.

The American Solidarity Party opposes the proposed order on net neutrality released by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. We support a marketplace of ideas. 

American Solidarity Party

We are a party that seeks the common good, on common ground, through common sense. We believe in the sanctity of human life, the necessity of social justice, our responsibility to care for the environment, and promotion of a more peaceful world. We cherish the individual rights and separation of government powers protected by the U.S. Constitution, and recognize the need for social supports and community cohesion. We seek to bridge the bitter partisan divide with principled and respectful policies and dialog.
