Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) announced her support for the bill on Twitter, putting it over the top of a procedural requirement to bypass committee approval. The bill, which is being pushed by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), would use Congresss authority under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reverse the FCCs rollback of its popular net neutrality rules. .... Todays news shows that lawmakers from both parties cannot hide from their constituents on this issue, said Evan Greer, an activist with the group Fight for the Future, which has promised to rally voters around the issue in the midterm elections. Every member of the U.S. Senate will have to go on the record, during a tight election year, and either vote to save the Internet or rubber stamp its death warrant. --- When a girl has sex with a bunch of guys, they call her a slut, but when a guy does it, they call him gay. ~ Antifar <cite>Phantom_Nook posted [p:893662889] in Pro-Net Ne...
