Washington, DC (April 13, 2015) — The following statement on Representative Doug Collins’s resolution of disapproval for the FCC’s Net Neutrality order can be attributed to David Segal, Executive Director of Demand Progress.

“Doug Collins should think twice before he bucks the will of millions of Americans — and 85% of Republicans — by working to let ISPs shove most websites into slow lanes.

“His resolution is the latest attempt by the Big Cable industry and the members of Congress who do its bidding to roll back protections that will allow the public, innovators, and small businesses to benefit from an open Internet.

“Members of Congress who join this resolution and other legislative attempts to undermine the FCC’s rule will meet strong opposition every step of the way, including from the millions of voters who have spoken out in favor of Net Neutrality and who remain as vigilant as ever when it comes to defending the open Internet.
