Let's give credit where credit is due: to Speaker Pelosi. Here:

Part of the innovation agenda I advocated for when I became Leader was universal broadband. We had hoped to get it done within five years. We just got the bill passed three years ago under President Bush, but we had no funding. Now we want to have the resources to take us to that place so we don’t have a disparity between urban and rural populations. Reclassification, net neutrality, universal access for every American, these are priorities for us. And we see it not in isolation but as part of a new propserity, as a job creator, to make America healthier, smarter and an international leader.

As the Speaker said: "If the House takes up legislation to gut a free and open Internet 'it’s not going to be a Democratic initiative.'"

Well said.
