"Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is keeping the promise she made last month. Today, she filed a bill to strike down the Federal Communications Commission’s recent move to enact net neutrality regulations. The Internet Freedom Act states Internet regulation is the sole prerogative of Congress, and is supported by more than 60 House members, including the majority of Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee."
Whatever I may think of "net neutrality," I think that bureaucrats expanding thier fiefdoms is not the way to do it.

When I saw the word "Freedom" in the name of the bill, I figured it would be just the opposite, much as the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare) offers neither protection nor affordability.
I doubt this will make it through Reid's senate.
