On Thursday, U.S. Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) stood with President Obama and voted against a conservative effort to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from regulating the Internet through the enforcement of “net neutrality” rules. As a result, the bill failed 52-46.
The Heritage Foundation said the FCC’s new rules would “give the government a role in deciding how content is treated on the Web, potentially threatening the free flow of information."
The U.S. House already passed a similar measure in April to override the FCC’s “net neutrality” rules. Why does Senator Mark Pryor support a federal regulatory overreach that has the potential to stifle innovation and freedom of speech? Click here to contact Senator Pryor!
Has Washington Cut Enough?
Despite an exploding $14.9 Trillion national debt, Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) seems to think Washington has tightened its belt enough. When recently asked if Congress should cut spending, Senator Pryor said, “I don’t think we need to do more cuts this year.” What do you think? Click here to watch the video.

I say what might be barred in a couple years or less. Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor today sold out "free speech" by surrendering control of the Internet to the FCC under Net Neutrality an blatant agenda of the Obama administration and liberal socialists. While Pryor also voted to allow the expansion of the EPA authority, his vote to support Net Neutrality which has even been ruled by the court to be unconstitutional and to align totally with all the progressive Democrats evidences that he he is NOT a conservative democrat and does not support the values of free Arkansans. Until my free speech is blocked, I am committed 100% to the defeat of Mark Pryor!
With the FCC regulation not blocked - it can proceed. We are allowing the bureaucrats (instead of Congress) to make"law" via regulations with penalties including jail for failing to do as they say. Congress abdicated the process long ago to the Executive Branch agencies.
I'm locking arms with you Bill!!! Does this have to now go to the House for a vote or not?
Amen Bill! Ditto here.
Mark Pryor is no friend to anyone but Mark Pryor.
Joanne, No the issue is now dead. The House controlled GOP already supported stopping both the FCC and EPA. We needed 51 votes in the Senate for the Joint resolutions to stop gov't overreach via non-elected bureaucrats. Our enemy is clearly established. We must support candidates for the US Senate from other states and most important of all replace BHO and remove the progressive bureaucrats from the gov't agencies.
Let's vote the bum out. Beebe too going ahead with ObamaCare
Pryor has to go!!
