Dear Chairman Upton, Ranking Member Waxman, Chairman Walden, and Ranking Member Eshoo:

The below signed organizations support the Open Internet and oppose any attempt to repeal the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Open Internet rules through the Congressional Review Act. Utilizing the Congressional Review Act would not only eliminate the current FCC rules, it would eliminate the FCC’s ability to protect innovation, speech, and commerce on broadband platforms on behalf of the American people.
