‘Net Neutrality’ in Illinois: Just One More Leftist Act of Deception
Last year the Federal Communications Commission overturned the Obama-era policy (referred to as “net neutraliy”) that “had placed Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon under the strictest-ever regulatory oversight.”

Judge Reinstates Taxpayer Funding of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research
On Thursday (September 9th), the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia lifted a ban on federal taxpayer funding of human embryonic stem cell research pending further review.
