As you may know, on November 21, 2017 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman, Ajit Pai, circulated a draft of his Restoring Internet Freedom Order to his fellow Commissioners. This order would repeal recent internet regulations set during the end of the Obama Administration and would go back to a "light-touch" regulatory style that the U.S. has used for decades.

It will fuel economic growth – leading to more jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks for Virginians.
