( http://maplight.org/Contributions%20to%20House%20Members%20Lobbying%20against%20Net%20Neutrality%20from%20Cable%20Interests )

Surprising nobody, data from Maplight shows that the Republican and Democrat lawmakers opposing both Title II ISP reclassification and net neutrality rules receive 2.3 times more campaign contributions from the cable industry than average. Twenty-nine members of Congress own stock in Comcast, making Comcast the 25th most held stock among members of Congress. Minority Leader Rep.

Greg Walden (R-Ore.), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology has received more money from the cable industry than any other member of the House of Representatives: $109,250 over the last...
And how many Congress critters in favor of net neutrality received campaign contributions from Google, Amazon, EBay and the rest of the gang in sillycon alley - compared to those who oppose “net neutrality”???
Oh that’s right, the report did not ask THAT question.
