Or inviting friends over to your place for dinner. These sound like such simple things to do, but for many in our community, they are nearly impossible goals. We’re working to change that. Since 1964, Hope House Foundation has been on the frontlines of the fight for independence, community inclusion, and true citizenship for people with developmental disabilities in Hampton Roads. We believe that people—all people— have the right to participate in community life to the fullest extent possible, and to control their own destinies. That means living in your own home.

  • Federal Communications Commission 445 12Th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554
    Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Genachowski and FCC Commissioners: On January 14, 2010, the SavetheInternet.com Coalition filed more than 35,000 signatures on a letter in support of Net Neutrality. Since then, an additional 23,000 Americans have signed on to the attached letter urging you to stand with the public in your commitment to strong Net Neutrality rules. These people signed onto the attached letter prior to the April 6 Comcast v. FCC decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. After April 6, SavetheInternet.com Coalition members gathered more than 200,000 additional signatures on a second letter, calling on the FCC to “reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service.” These additional signatures are filed separately. It’s clear that the public wants the FCC to keep the Internet open and free of corporate gatekeepers. The SavetheInternet.com Coalition urges the FCC to firmly support Net Neutrality. Please restore the agency’s authority over broadband services and move promptly to protect the open Internet with strong Net Neutrality rules. Misty Perez Truedson SavetheInternet.com Free Press 501 Third Street NW, Suite 875 Washington, DC 20001 Ph 202.265.1490 Fax 202.265.1489 April 26, 2010 Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Genachowski and FCC Commissioners: The public and the president have expressed overwhelming support for Net Neutrality. The FCC must act to keep the Internet open and free of corporate gatekeepers. Without vital Net Neutrality protections, the Internet would cease to be a public platform for free speech, equal opportunity, economic growth and innovation.
