SENATE TRAITORS MAY ATTEMPT TO KILL NET NEUTRALITY ON NOV. 9, 2010 - PLEASE CONTACT THEM NOW!
Rebecca Campbell
Important reminder: We expect a Senate committee to take up Net Neutrality TOMORROW. Please email your Senators right away!The Senate is likely voting to kill Net Neutrality on TUESDAY, November 8 -- it's a power grab by big Telecom so they can control what information you're able to access online.According to Free Press:
The Senate is expected to vote next week on a resolution of disapproval that would strip the FCC of the authority to enforce its Open Internet rules, and would render null all existing protection for Internet users. The vote could be incredibly tight.
The resolution only needs a simple majority to pass, so the future of Net Neutrality could come down to the whims of a handful of senators.
And as The Hill newspaper noted, "Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) said she will push for a Senate vote on a resolution of disapproval to negate the regulations....A similar vote passed the House earlier this year but stalled in the Senate."
Thanks,
The Demand Progress team.
