Senate Democrats plan to force vote on net neutrality May 9th

Democrats in Congress have been against the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules from the beginning. They've had the signatures in favor of restoring the rules since January, along with a companion House bill (with 80 co-sponsors). Senator Edward J. Markey also introduced a formal Congressional Review Act "resolution of disapproval" in February. Now, Markey tweeted that Democrats will force a floor vote restore the rules on May 9th.

    Thank "god" someone is standing up to the crazy traitors. Hopefully we can get back to business as usual if they keep pushing.
