New movement in Net Neutrality rules

The Senate rejected a bid to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's controversial net neutrality rules on Thursday in a party-line vote.

The measure passed the House in April, but failed in the Senate on a vote of 52 to 46. It needed 51 votes to pass and was not subject to a filibuster. The White House threatened earlier this week to veto the measure if it cleared the Senate, which came as no surprise since President Obama made net neutrality part of his campaign platform.

Keep bringing it up.

Ditto for all other repeal efforts.

Just do it!
