Competition has clearly been shown to be the best tool.

If there is ever an example where 706 would apply, it is in the ability to say to states, you cannot get in the middle of this 'virtuous cycle' and prohibit consumers from being able to have access to a competitive service.

If the citizens of a community want to organize through their local government to say, to bring competition in broadband provision, they should not be inhibited.

I don't believe there ought to be haves and have-nots.

I believe that under Section 706, anything that is anti-competitive or anti-consumer is competitively unreasonable and therefore can, and should be, blocked.

The Russian incursion into the Crimean region of Ukraine requires an unequivocal response that sends a clear message that Russia cannot interfere with the sovereignty of other countries.

I think it's important for the United States and our European allies to impose economic sanctions in response to what Russia has done in the Ukraine.

We must continue to send a firm message to Iran that its nuclear program must end.

I believe the only acceptable solution for a nation with this kind of track record is the full abandonment of its nuclear program.

Telephone access on tribal lands still lags far behind the rest of the country.

We have two responsibilities--to adhere to the statute and not to be stupid.

At least we made decisions. Because the thing that American business can't afford and American consumers can't afford is limbo.
