Bob Menendez is Pro-Net Neutrality

by: Juan Melli

Tue Oct 17, 2006 at 05:10:34 PM EDT



Two months ago we wrote on Menendez's support for net neutrality, but several people on the blogotubes and netrootspheres either didn't take our word for it or missed the post. We agree with a wise Tom Kean Jr spokeswoman/troll who reminds us that "you can't believe what's posted on blogs," so it's good to be skeptical.

So we contacted the Menendez campaign today and they confirmed that they are indeed pro-net neutrality. Here's the senator's official statement on the issue:

Like you, I strongly support net neutrality.  As you know, a major point of contention in the United States Senate telecommunications reform legislation is the question of whether action is needed to ensure unfettered access to the Internet.  I believe all individuals should be able to benefit from the wealth of material available online.  The Internet was created to be a venue for sharing information and we must continue to make certain that consumers can access that content without discrimination.

We stand corrected! (4.00 / 2)
And, for once, that's good news!

I'm glad to hear that (0.00 / 0)
When I called his office a few months ago, he was still on the fence.  Now if only he hadn't voted in favor of torture.....
