TLDR: We are launching VoteForNetNeutrality.com, a tool to help you track your lawmaker’s position on net neutrality and let them know that if they don’t vote for the CRA to overturn the FCC’s repeal, then you won’t vote for them in the next election.We at Fight for the Future are launching VoteForNetNeutrality.com to call on internet users across the country to urge their lawmakers to protect net neutrality via the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and let them know that if they don’t vote for the CRA to overturn the FCC’s repeal, then you won’t vote for them in the next election.Congress has the power to overturn FCC’s disastrous repeal of net neutrality by using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). 29 Senators have already signed on to support it, and now all we need is one more Senator to force it to a vote on the floor. If it passes the Senate, we’ll need to get several more Republicans in the House to support it to force a vote there, but with 75% of Republican voters in support of net neutrality and a handful of GOP lawmakers already coming out against the FCC’s net neutrality repeal, it’s looking more and more likely that we can make that happen.Head over to VoteForNetNeutrality.com or or text VOTE to 384-387 and sign the pledge. We’ll Reach out to your representative and let them know that unless they vote for the CRA to overturn the FCC net neutrality vote, you will not vote for them come midterm elections. You’ll also receive a text on election day letting you know whether your lawmakers voted in favor of the CRA.So join us, and let Congress know that come election day if they didn’t #VoteForNetNeutrality, you will. via /r/EarthPorn ift.tt/2qEaGLn
