NET NEUTRALITY
(Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, in a year where we are dealing
with healthcare, immigration, and, yes,
[[Page H9478]]
taxes, I am very pleased by the volume of mail that I have gotten from
my constituents on all of those issues. But I have to tell you the one
issue that my constituents have contacted me most on is net neutrality.
I hear from young people and college students, many who have been
calling for the first time about wanting an internet that is free from
the meddling of a few large internet providers.
As we know, the internet is perhaps one of the most important
advances of our time. It is a tool that allows citizens to connect from
all over the country and even the world and improves the quality of
life.
From elementary to graduate level students, all would be affected if
the title II regulations were changed. From the student finishing
homework to military families keeping in touch, we need a free and open
internet.
So why attack an institution that benefits millions for the gain of a
few big cable companies?
Please join me in contacting the FCC to tell them net neutrality
matters to our constituents and it certainly matters to all of us.
