Congressional Democrats seeking to reinstate net neutrality rules are still 46 votes short of getting the measure through the House of Representatives.
The US Senate voted last month to reverse the Federal Communications Commission's repeal of net neutrality rules, with all members of the Democratic caucus and three Republicans voting in favor of net neutrality.
A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to force a House vote on the same net neutrality bill, and 218 votes would also be enough to pass the measure. So far, the petition has signatures from 172 representatives, all Democrats. That number hasn't changed in two weeks.
"We're 46 [signatures] away from being able to force a vote on the resolution to restore the Open Internet Order," Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) tweeted yesterday.

I have never seen any reference to that guy supporting a change in ownership models. [google.com]
...e.g. copying Italy's Marcora Law [google.com]
So, "Progressive"? OK.
"Lefty"? No.
He may have been a bit more toward the vertical center line than the rest of the bunch, [politicalcompass.org] but he was NOT on the Left side of the palate (NOT an Anti-Capitalist).
N.B. Neither are Nader or Kucinich; the chart is skewed to the left.
