Here is what he had to say about Net Neutrality. What this document proposes to do that i will be voting for december 14 is return the internet to the exact same Regulatory Framework that 2015ned the internet from and the 20 years that preceded it.

Now, congressman Gerald Connolly is in virginia, a member of the Foreign Affairs committee. There was a form and security in north africa. This is 45 minutes. In the late 1980s, i was a Foreign Policy aid. I was particularly star struck by one of the aids on the Foreign Relations committee. As one might expect, he was smart as hell. He seemed to know vast things about how the world really worked and he was a master of the legislative process.

For that time hes been a member of the House Committee on government oversight and reform and a member of the house Foreign Affairs committee
