Some Democrats, Minority Groups Question Net Neutrality
Democrats, including U.S. President Barack Obama, have generally supported new rules that would prohibit broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Web content, but the group of 72 members of the House of Representatives sent a letter Thursday to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, saying they're concerned that new regulations would slow down investment in broadband networks. Many of the 72 Democrats are members of the "Blue Dogs," a conservative wing of the party, or of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Although the Congressional Black Caucus isn't traditionally against government regulation, some members are concerned that many African-Americans and other ethnic minorities lack access to broadband networks. Among the House Democrats signing the letter were Elijah Cummings of Maryland, Charlie Gonzalez of Texas and Loretta Sanchez of California.
So liberals must oppose the Black Caucus and Blue Dogs to impose Net Neutrality. Don't worry Barack will set them in back of the bus eventually. Barack tries to impose archaic failed policies from the 40's and the 60's which only gain popularity now because of the mainstream media's endgame demonization of conservative opinion. It's an effort to vilify the internet itself in order to silence Conservative grassroots opposition on Twitter and Facebook because liberals have no ground to stand on until they invade your home then change the locks.
The FCC should "carefully consider the full range of consequences that government action may have on network investment."
The net neutrality rules could slow investments in broadband and slow minorities' access to telemedicine, distance learning and other services, the letter said.
Net neutrality advocates said they were concerned that members of Congress and minority groups were buying into false claims by broadband providers.
“Buying into false claims,” so telecoms lie as long as minorities are stupid enough to fall for it. I'm glad they're here to tell us these things while hiding behind Obama telling minorities they're wrong. Hey y'all it's blackface.
So no, the problem is not the red-state bitter-clinger Christian types obstructive against socialist priorities, only the thin-skinned sellouts like Barack who 'impose Net Neutrality' through arcane regulation as a Marxist alternative to segregation. As a form of reparations to almighty Obama should Blue Dogs or the Black Caucus start calling themselves deaf monkeys because their constituency from poor neighborhoods can't afford FCC mandated broadband and wireless?
