Chairman Pai recently released this proposed regulation and announced that it would be voted on at the FCC\u2019s December 14 meeting.\n\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s FCC plan to repeal Net Neutrality would harm free speech, stall entrepreneurship, and deal a major blow to our economic competitiveness and all American consumers,\u201d said Rep. Quigley. \u201cEqual access to all online content is a cornerstone of the Internet, and I strongly oppose Chairman Pai\u2019s efforts to weaken protections. The FCC\u2019s proposed plan would reduce competition, stifle innovation, and charge customers more for less; and the vote must not move forward.\u201d\n\u00a0\nDecember 13, 2017\nThe Honorable Ajit V. Pai\nChairman\nFederal Communications Commission\n445 12th Street S.W.\nWashington, D.C. 20554\nDear Chairman Pai:\nWe write to you today regarding the \u201cRestoring Internet Freedom\u201d item, WC Docket No. 17-108, on the Federal Communication Commission\u2019s December Open Meeting Agenda. We urge you to delay consideration of this item and remove it from the December agenda.\nThank you for your attention to this important request.\nSincerely,\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://quigley.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/quigley-joins-democratic-colleagues-sending-letter-fcc-urging-delay-net"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.901423092931509, "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"}
