Call swing vote senators: Save net neutrality

Fifty senators have already signed onto a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the FCC's repeal of net neutrality. A handful of swing vote senators could tip the balance. Call now.

When Trump's Federal Communications Commission voted to kill the open internet, they ignored millions of Americans to give big cable companies control of what we say and do online. But this fight isn't over. Congress has the authority to overturn the FCC's vote. Congress can use a "resolution of disapproval" to reverse this disastrous decision and restore the rules that protect the open internet.2 Thanks to the Congressional Review Act, Congress can review new regulations (in this case, the FCC's Orwellian-sounding “Restoring Internet Freedom” rule) and overrule them by passing a joint resolution of disapproval. Republicans in Congress used the process last year when they repealed important broadband privacy protections. And in the Senate, even the minority party can force a resolution of disapproval to a vote – making every senator go on the record for or against net neutrality. Trump's FCC chair has shown that he is in the pocket of big telecom companies. But unlike the FCC, our senators are elected and they must answer to us. They vote tomorrow. We need them to hear our voices now.
