Don't get your hopes up for anything happening before the midterm elections. The Republican-controlled House isn't going to vote for it, and Trump isn't going to sign the bill into law anyway.

I think they should just pass it, in the long run will be easier for the ISP's to just deal with one set of rules VS fighting with 50 different states over different rules for each state.

Bring back Net neutrality the alternative is pretty bad.

Toomey (R-PA)

Heh, I voted for him. He was actually at the place I voted at during the 2016 election. Was odd for a GOP candidate to be in Philly of all places. But hey, he won, so I guess I shouldn't question it.

BREAKING: With a historic 52-47 vote—the U.S. Senate just passed the CRA resolution saving #NetNeutrality! Most thought we'd never make it this far, but YOU helped prove those voices wrong. THANK YOU! Now, the battle shifts to the House... https://t.co/gXDWbGsXAK pic.twitter.com/5Hd8WJj7RG

What would you rather people link to? It's a hub for both updates on the issue and contact information for representatives

So we get them all on record as opposing it. Anti-NN, anti-weed, anti-healthcare, anti-America. The winning ads for the opposition practically write themselves.

That's great news.

Agreed, and I hope the ads help in the midterms.

Intriguing, very intriguing, hope to see more good things like this from DC.

The house of representatives will vote on the bill (as of right now very little to no chance it passes) and even if it somehow did, trump will just use his executive veto since there is no way both the house and senate will get 2/3 majority for the bill.

Sites and such putting clickbait titles like net neutrality is saved and all it's doing is sending the bill to the house where it will die.

Ajit Pai met with AT&T shortly after their very large payment to Michael Cohen:

This definitely looks like pay to play, so perhaps we can get Net Neutrality repeal overturned through investigation if the legislative route doesn't pan out.
