[CCWG-ACCT] L. Gordon Crovitz in the WSJ: "Ted Cruz's Fight to Protect the Open Internet"

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

So, when I ask the question (to be forwarded to the lawyers) it's
called "interesting" and nixed, when Mr Cruz does it makes the WSJ,
even though his interest in the matter is going to drop sharply on
the morning after the election or his dropout from the race.

But, it's in my Public Comment to CWG and in the Minority Viewpoint,
so my concerns are on the record.
