WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-ID) has introduced H.R. 3297, the Reducing Barriers for Broadband on Federal Lands Act, to lessen the regulatory burden for broadband development on federal lands.

Op-Ed Rail Strike Avoided
81 years ago, today Japan attacked our navy at Pearl Harbor. Thousands of servicemen lost their lives. Even today there are somewhat wild theories as to why Japan did so.
