You can’t demonstrate the dangers of President Obama’s plan to regulate the internet and reclassify broadband as a Title II common carrier more clearly than this video, courtesy of Sen. Ted Cruz.
Cruz said on his website that the Obama Administration is trying to impose 1934 rules on the Internet, which will stifle innovation. “The FCC’s net neutrality plan will drive up the cost of consumer Internet plans, impose billions of new taxes on the Internet, and allow a panel of five unelected bureaucrats to regulate and control every aspect of the Internet,” Cruz said.
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, one of two Republicans on the unelected board, held a press conference earlier this week to warn about the dangers of the 332-page plan that will not be released to the public until after the FCC’s vote on February 26.
“The American people are being misled about President Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet,” Pai said. “Last week’s carefully managed rollout was designed to downplay the plans of a massive intrusion in the Internet economy.”
“I have now read the 332 page plan. It is worse than I had imagined,” said Pai.
He warned that reclassifying broadband would open the door to new internet taxes and intrusive regulations and would give the FCC “broad and unprecedented discretion to micro-manage the internet.”
LOL he is really good.
What could possibly go wrong?
Obama told the FCC what he wanted and he’s going to get it
Net Neutrality needs to stop NOW before it’s too late. This is so beyond scary.
How else are Hillary and her successors going to get elected?
Net Neutrality is just 2 words to fool you ,it’s not what Obama is really up to . You’ll probably never see the real 332 page pile of crap
Is Ted Cruz the ONLY VOICE in Congress?
TED CRUZ 2016
Amazing how these assholes take something that sounds fair and equitable, “net neutrality,” and turn it into something evil and sinister.
nobama controls our healthcare.
He is working on controlling our food supply.
Now he wants to control our access to the outside world.
Turd world dicktater. YEP!
I would expect the Caliph to be pushing for rules from around 622AD.
Cruz has been so devastating to them on this subject that they have to resort to claiming that he doesn’t understand what it’s about and is lying about it.
Cruz 2016. I’m on board.
Is Ted Cruz the ONLY VOICE in Congress?
*****
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Where are Mike Lee, Tim Scott, Ben Sasse, Joni Ernst, etc????

TED CRUZ 2016
Funny thing tho. In the movie they got the "party colors" screwy. d;^)
I have to give props to my Senator Ron Johnson. He made some pretty impassioned statement about the dangers of this.
“TED CRUZ 2016”
AGREED, AGREED, AGREED.
He is brilliant!
Cruz appears to be hitting on all cylinders lately. He is in attack mode, which I approve of, as opposed to reacting to everything the dems do and say! Good for him!
“The FCC’s net neutrality plan will drive up the cost of consumer Internet plans, impose billions of new taxes on the Internet, and allow a panel of five unelected bureaucrats to regulate and control every aspect of the Internet,” Cruz said.
Isn’t this the modus operandi? RAISING TAXES AND CONTROL
I can't speak for the others but Mike Lee was on the Mark Levin show just a few days ago and Net Neutering was the very subject they talked about. (OK it was Net Neutrality , but my phrase is closer to the truth)
