Congressman Marsha Blackburn (TN-7) led her colleagues in overturning the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) "net neutrality" rules which represent the first ever federal regulation of the Internet. Watch her remarks on the House Floor here.

Using the Congressional Review Act, Blackburn joined House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton and Congressman Greg Walden, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications, in voting on a resolution of disapproval of the new Internet rules. The measure will now go to the Senate, where it is not subject to filibuster and needs only 51 votes to pass. Blackburn has made a priority of ensuring the Internet is free and prosperous marketplace that welcomes innovators and job creators a priority.

"Last year the FCC began their takeover of the Internet unilaterally, without jurisdiction or permission from Congress. Their move reflected Washington's impulse to regulate that which bureaucrats don't understand. In this case, the FCC order freezes the innovative spirit and stalls the engine of job creation in America. I am proud to take up this fight to keep the Internet free, open, and prosperous." Blackburn said.

As the debate began today, Blackburn released the first edition of "Blackburn's Blackboard" a parody of the Administration's "White House White Board" video series. In the video, Blackburn offers an easy explanation of the "net neutrality" issue. Watch the video here.
