Urges United States Congress to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's December 14, 2017 order ending net neutrality regulations using the Congressional Review Act authority.

Asserts that net neutrality protects individuals' ability to access and transmit information equally by requiring Internet service providers to treat all websites equally regardless of content or source.

Identifies concerns that without net neutrality, Internet service providers can charge higher rates for certain websites, slow down or block access to competitor websites, and harm small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Cites a University of Maryland poll finding 83 percent of Americans oppose the FCC's action, and notes the public comment process was flawed with over 2 million comments linked to stolen identities and nearly 500,000 from Russian email addresses.

Emphasizes Alaska's particular need for net neutrality due to the state's climate, isolation, and remote communities' reliance on stable, affordable Internet access for connectivity and education.
