He believes that if the FCC\u2019s Net Neutrality rules are eliminated, Internet Service Providers with block or throttle content, provide faster transmission to businesses that pay them more (\u201cpaid prioritization\u201d), and charge consumers more for a number of internet services. He believes that the \u201cRestoring Internet Freedom\u201d Order is profoundly anti-competition and ant-consumer.\n  \n\tCongressman Doyle organized the letter to the FCC urging the Commission to delay its vote on the Restoring Internet Freedom Order \u2013 in other words, to not vote on the draft order tomorrow. He announced yesterday that if the FCC does vote to adopt the Restoring Internet Freedom Order tomorrow, he would introduce legislation to overturn it.\n  \n\tClick\u00a0here to see the text of the letter and the list of signers.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://doyle.house.gov/press-release/house-members%E2%80%99-letter-fcc-don%E2%80%99t-kill-net-neutrality"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5185489319264889, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
