“Mr. President, I am honored to be here today to join Senator Markey to talk about the importance of strong internet neutrality protections. He also came to Minnesota this past month and was able to meet with a number of our small businesses, including a woman who started a business making children's clothes and who saw growth because of the internet. He met people who never would have had that opportunity if we didn't have net neutrality. Today we took a major step forward on this issue by forcing the Senate to hold a vote on legislation to save net neutrality. I believe, in the end, we will have the votes to get this done. It will send an important message that the internet should remain free, open, and equal to all who use it. It will then be considered, we would hope, by the House because our goal is to actually get this done. Why? Because net neutrality is the bedrock of a fair, fast, open, and global internet. It holds internet service providers accountable for providing the internet access consumers expect while protecting innovation and competition. It is also one reason the internet has become one of the great American success stories, transforming not only how we communicate with family and friends but also the way companies do business, how consumers buy goods, and how we educate our kids.…”
