Hey #POTUS! This is your 812th day in office and we still don't have a functional #FCC because there is a vacant commissioner position and Commission is deadlocked 2-2.
We need a strong nominee for the position so that @jrosenworcel and @FCC can do their job.

Just one example: "the DoD is unable to provide or obtain accurate and reliable data to verify the existence, completeness, or value of its Joint Strike Fighter Program"
