Senate Democrats have put together 50 votes for a measure meant to block the Federal Communications Commission's December decision to end net neutrality rules put in place by the Obama administration.
Democrats are just one GOP vote shy of the 51-vote threshold for a Senate resolution of disapproval, which would strike down the FCC's December rules change.
"With full caucus support," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, "it's clear that Democrats are committed to fighting to keep the internet from becoming the Wild West where ISPs are free to offer premium service to only the wealthiest customers while average consumers are left with far inferior options."
The Democrats' effort won the support of its first Republican backer, Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), last Tuesday.

Yes. Let's all get real self righteous and prissy about a President that cared so much about justice and righteousness that he had Citibank literally choose his entire fucking Cabinet for him, before he even took office.

Wikileaks is amazing. The stuff that’s coming out, the #PodestaEmails [twitter.com] and so much. Real bad stuff. The press doesn’t even pick this stuff up. You look at the Fake News Media, where are you seeing it?
