FreedomWorks to Obama: Keep Your Hands Off the Internet

Washington, DC- Following President Obama’s statement urging the Federal Communications Commission to adopt strict rules on net neutrality, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented:

“Keeping the internet ‘free and open’ through federal oversight is an oxymoron that only government logic can create. We have seen the messes created by federal bureaucrats trying to micromanage industries they know nothing about. Net neutrality enforced by a bunch of suits in Washington, DC would be as successful as the HealthCare.gov website- a disaster from day one.”

FreedomWorks aims to educate, build, and mobilize the largest network of activists advocating the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty and the rule of law.
