The Wall Street Journal has published a short, public exchange on the question "Should the Net Be Neutral?"
The legislation links on their page are to PDF's; I like HTML so here they are: Rep. Sensenbrenner's H.R.5417 and Rep. Barton's H.R.5252; One of those is notably called  "micromanaging".

The level of characterization, technical ignorance and political posturing displayed on both sides here is dismaying.   I can count the number of letters-to-the-editor I've written on one hand -- without using binary -- but this one got a response.  The more on-point factual responses these people get the better, because if this is the level of discourse that's being used to persuade our Congress, we're sunk.
