Report that Philadelphia Rep. Chaka Fattah voted AGAINST net neutrality.
If he did vote against Net Neutrality -- I guess Comcast is in his district -- I'd like to see him pay a price, perhaps with a primary challenge in his "safe" Democratic district.

(I assume most users of DU understand that net neutrality is an important principle of communication that says Internet Service Providers must treat all data streams equally, just like the telephone company treats all conversations equally. It allows small websites like DU to compete on an equal basis with bigger mainstream news sites. I know of no liberal or progressive who doesn't support net neutrality.)

1. Follow-up: Congressional Black Caucus siding with telecom companies.

2. As did Blue Dog Jason Altmire.
He's so slick at turning tricks. I look at him and see Melissa Hart with a butch haircut.

3. He already voted against it four year ago:

and he has faced no primary opponents since then.
