He posted a YouTube video to fight back against Franken. YouTube Video by Cruz
This is what he is posting on facebook:
I don't think he understands the history of the telephone either.

I briefly browsed an article on Fox's website that said if Obama's proposed legislation passes, there will essentially be another big internet tax. Is that correct?
I guess it said consumers were screwed either way and we should prepare for higher prices. I could have misread though.

I am very much for net neutrality. But I am completely against the FCC or any government agency regulating the internet. The over site of a net neutrality law needs to be handled by watch dog organizations/ Auditing Firms/ etc.

I believe almost everyone is for this as a concept, including Cruz.
What he is against is Net Neutrality, as a legislative measure.

ATT contributes equally to both parties. Net Neutrality has very little to do with equal access. Cruz sees the situation for what it is; govt regulation of the intertubes.
Remember this moment. We're living in the golden age of the webz.

When this many people I respect here say that Gov regulation is the answer, I figure that it must be a really fricked up question.

NN is like ACA. Those who know the details aren't the one's who want to write the rules. I'm surprised PLOsi isn't claiming NN is a jobs bill.
Do you know Netflix uses ~30% of the US internet bandwidth during prime time?

Unfortunately a lot of kids never grew up without a cell phone and don't understand the importance of regulation in the "wired" telephone business that enabled communications and industry to take off in the US.

was the internet not innovating 12 months ago when we had net neutrality?

well i will say this
if we do start major regulations on the internet, all of the provider that exist that we all hate will basically be given monopolies over their fiefdoms. these monopolistic actions only occurred due to government, and more government will just strengthen them more
