First Net Neutrality Vote in Congress: Good News and Bad News
Yesterday, the House Energy and Commerce voted against the “Markey Amendment” which includes Net Neutraility language by a vote of 34-22.
The good news is a number of congressmen switched votes to the right side and that the issue is gaining public visibility, which means the congressmen will all need to defend their votes. More good news is that 250,000 signatures supporting the amendment were collected at Save The Internet in less than a week. Add your endorsement at their site.
The action now shifts to the Senate, where Senator Wyden’s proposal is being considered.
