Ars Technica: Net neutrality on chopping block as Democrats fight to save FCC’s rules

Senators Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.) today said they will try to preserve the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules in a budget standoff with Republicans.

A Republican budget proposal that came out in June would prevent the FCC from enforcing its net neutrality rules until Internet providers who are suing the commission have exhausted all their legal options.

Republicans in Congress have made numerous proposals throughout this year to eliminate net neutrality rules and limit the FCC's power to regulate broadband providers. Republicans have claimed that the FCC is imposing "heavy-handed agency regulations that would slow Internet speeds, increase consumer prices and hamper infrastructure development," and that the rules must be stopped to "protect our innovators from these job-killing regulations.”

1. Hey Al & Ed

you need to tell republican's that killing Net Neutrality would slow Internet speeds, increase consumer prices and hamper infrastructure development," and that the rules must be applied to "protect our innovators from these job-killing Internet providers.”
Just mirror their talking points back with a few modest changes in grammar.

2. Should be a lot of DEMs with Franken and Markey.

Pukes, too. Soon, it'll be pay to play for access to information -- like it takes to reach a Congressperson.
