"Net Neutrality"? Careful folks, this one is aimed straight at us.
Let's see ..."No Child Left Behind" resulted in the test scores of tens of thousands of minority children being discounted; "Healthy Forests" turned the stewardship of our woodland resources over to the logging industry; "Clear Skies" allowed polluters to regulate pollution standards; and the "Patriot Act" would cause Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, and virtually every other founding father to pick up a weapon and engage in armed insurrection. I wonder how the "Net Neutrality Act" will play out.
There's no doubt about it. Repukes are great at naming stuff. They can name the shit out of practically anything you could imagine, but when it comes to living up to the promise of their thoroughly vetted and focus-group tested names ... well ... the record speaks for itself. Be very careful.

(I notice that I even listed the * initiatives in the same order as Arianna, but that really is a coincidence.)

5. My Independent ISP Owner Isn't Bothered By This
If the telcos get what they want, he's going to build an advertising campaign around the fact their extorting site owners, and pick up their pissed off customers.
