Boehner: “This dangerous path would limit freedom, stifle innovation and entrepreneurship, and kill American jobs”
WASHINGTON, DC – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today sent a letter to Kevin Martin, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), urging him to keep the Internet free of new Washington regulation. He issued the following statement accompanying the letter:
“Recent media reports indicate the FCC is poised for massive, unprecedented regulation of the Internet. This dangerous path would limit freedom, stifle innovation and entrepreneurship, and kill American jobs. Internet regulation is a solution in search of a problem. We should maintain the ‘hands off’ approach that has served the Internet, the American people, and our economy so well.
“The wild success of the Internet and the wireless industry are perfect examples of what happens when entrepreneurship and innovation are allowed to flourish. Endangering ongoing innovation in our economy by crushing the entrepreneurial spirit of the American people is the wrong approach, pure and simple.”

Mrs. Gribbit gave birth to a baby girl on July 24 at 11:38am EDT.
Gribbit will be out of pocket for the next several weeks.
UPDATE 7/28:
Baby Gribbit is in what is known at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital as the Regional Center for Newborn Intensive Care (RCNIC) and will be there for about 2 weeks.
The surgery to close baby Gribbit’s spinal cord defect was successful and a VP Shunt was implanted to drain spinal fluid from the ventricles of her brain. She is off the ventilator and soon will be off IV fluids. We’re hoping that she’ll begin feeding by bottle soon but until then she’s being fed via a tube.
The Neurosurgeon reported that there was little damage to her nerves. The nerve that goes to her blatter looked to be the only damaged nerve. He suspects that she will have full function in her legs with some weakness in her ankles.
Gribbit and Mrs. Gribbit would like to thank everyone who has been praying for our little girl. Prayer works. May GOD bless you all.
