Matthew Berry, chief of staff to Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai, pointed out that only nine percent of Americans support the commissions plan to regulate the Internet. More Americans believe in witches (21%) than support Pres. Obama's Internet regulation plan as it stands (9%), Berry Tweeted on Friday.
Berry was referring to the findings of a poll conducted over the weekend that found that only nine percent of Americans support the net neutrality regulations set for a vote next Thursday. The study was conducted by Hart Research Associates, a Democratic polling firm.

The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) 332-page net neutrality plan, proposed by Democrats on the commission, will pass if the five-member bodys three Democrats vote in unison as expected. However, the FCC has prohibited release of the plan until after its passage.

Nothing will stop Government from doing its thing!
Pols are worthless.
This is about power, taxes, regulation and controlling something nobama clearly perceives as a threat to his regime.

Americans? AMERICANS? Who cares what American citizens think? - LIberals
The only witch I believe in is Alyssa Milano.
It has been substantiated that in uncertain economic and social times, people gravitate towards fringe medicine and healing. Quacks thrive in such an environment.
Well, there ARE witches, duh. Now is there really witchcraft, well...
Thoughtcrimes are committed on the internet.
America’s education system on parade.
And I’ll bet that after net Neutrality if someone wants to start a UFO site they will have to get a license and pay a fee to the grubermint...

“However, the FCC has prohibited release of the plan until after its passage.”
So, let me see if I got this right: “THE PLAN” the regulate and restrict the method of communication which gives unprecedented equal access and freedom of speach to all people, regardless of gender, race, or political affiliation, in the history of mankind, will not be made public until after the commissioners have voted on it, and the voting majority of the commissioners were put on the board by the America hating Marxist Obama.
This violation of our free speech will come at a higher price, in the form of fees. Simple solution is the best, as usual.
When you get your new bill, look for the new fees. Then, pay your bill MINUS the new fees. Mail the bill with a note saying “I refuse to pay the new fees.” Civil disobedience at work.
It sounds a lot like You have to pass it to read it.
