Bill Nelson

So, Mr. Chairman, I am glad that your bill would stop this practice by voiding contracts of adhesion that punish consumers for sharing their experiences and their opinions with other consumers.

So you encourage those businesses, if there is a false review, to contact you.

We just simply can't let people continue to get off scot-free.

I want to reflect on the comments the senior Senator from Vermont has shared. I want to say to Senator Leahy that what he has reflected in the course of his career of casting 15,000 votes, spanned over four decades in the Senate--some…

I was encouraged when we started talking about cell towers the other day, and I was noticing that the technology is getting very sophisticated, where these towers can be very small.

You keep that in mind.

Her work as an FCC commissioner is not only helping children and families access the Internet but also helping communities like ours to build stronger schools, improve city services, and unleash more entrepreneurial and creative potential.

Consumer protection, public safety, universal access, and competition must continue to be at the forefront of the FCC's actions.

Congratulations on your re-nomination. You have served with distinction and not surprisingly, have established yourself as a reasoned, thoughtful, and bipartisan leader.

I want to thank the chairman publicly for his willingness and the willingness of his staff to continue the dialogue as we work on the issue of net neutrality.

Her championship of modernization and reform of the E-Rate and Lifeline programs are two examples of her fierce, determined commitment to expanding public access to high-speed broadband for working families.

The FCC has the critical responsibility for overseeing and supporting our Nation's dynamic communications networks and marketplace.

Will the Senator share her thoughts with the Senate about how the Nation's national security defense depends on us being able--we have the guns, the tanks, the airplanes, the missiles, and all of that, but there is a new type of threat…

Their willingness to come forward is pitifully low. It is something like only 4 percent.

This is a little commission that I appreciate so much, because you are the one group that is standing between defective products and the consuming public.

If there is an imminent hazard, the Commission has ample authority to act

A few years ago, we were talking about a bill called the Foreign Manufacturers Legal Accountability Act.

The government of China has kept hands off.

Because you get particularly a foreign product that comes in and it is defective, and yet people don't realize it.

Do you need additional authority?

We must figure out a more effective way to get these products out of the hands of consumers--out of the hands of children.

The recall completion rates for consumer products--including children's products--are so low it's just sad.

Because companies are under no legal obligation whatsoever to notify effectively and to actually carry out the recall.

Neither Takata nor GM has any reason to be proud of their track records when it comes to recalls.

Are we getting to the point, for our local elected officials, that the technology has advanced so much that the harassment and the huge controversies that would occur over the big tower that was so ugly, that now you've got this capability…
