YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWith only one more vote needed in the Senate to pass a resolution to reinstate net neutrality rules, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) will enter the final stretch of the net neutrality fight TODAY, Wednesday, May 9 by officially filing a discharge petition for a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval, setting up a vote on the Senate floor. All 49 members of the Senate Democratic caucus support the resolution, along with Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine). Since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the repeal of the Open Internet Order in December 2017, Democratic Senators and net neutrality supporters have been convening events in communities across the country and strengthening grassroots momentum to repeal the partisan FCC decision. The deadline for a Senate vote on Senator Markey’s CRA is June 12th.
