I think the Internet has developed at this incredibly rapid pace because of net neutrality, because of the free nature of it, because a YouTube can start the way YouTube started.

Net neutrality isn't a government takeover of the Internet, as many of my Republican colleagues have alleged.

Net neutrality has been in place since the very beginning of the Internet.

The nature of the Internet and the importance of net neutrality is that innovation can come from everyone.

Let's not let the government sell us out. Let's fight for net neutrality.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

Unless your government is respectable, foreigners will invade your rights; and to maintain tranquillity, it must be respectable - even to observe neutrality, you must have a strong government.

I am not a great believer in the idea that journalistic neutrality means you have to abandon the people you talk to.

Net Neutrality - a guiding principle of the Internet since its beginning - means that content is all treated equally.

As president of Common Cause, I joined a coalition of groups ranging from the Christian Coalition to Consumers Union, and we went to Congress with over a million signatures asking that Net Neutrality be made law.
