Here are the sponsors of COPE (Communications Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act of 2006) ... recognize any names?

Joe Barton (R, TX-06), Chairman of the House Commerce Committee
Fred Upton (R, MI-06), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet
Dennis Hastert (R, IL-14), Speaker of the House
Bobby Rush (D, IL-01)
Chip Pickering (R-MS-03)

COPE will undermine Network Neutrality, the fundamental principle of the Internet.

Although Bobby Rush opposed these provisions, he stands behind the bill as a whole. Is this what we want for Illinois?
