Telecom friendly House Democrats are pushing a letter to undermine net neutrality

Apparently, a handful of Democratic Reps are shopping around a letter that echoes internet service provider lobbyist talking points, incorrectly claiming that the Save the Internet Act to restore network neutrality is dead and calling for the creation of a disingenuous “bipartisan working group,” modeled after the one created in the Senate by Sens Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who are widely seen as enemies of the effort to restore net neutrality. The group is rumored to be led by Reps Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) Scott Peters (D-CA) who together have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from big telecom companies. The letter has not yet been released, and many of the signers may not be aware of its true intent.
