Senators Press Speaker Ryan to Hold Net Neutrality Vote

Democratic senators are urging Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) to hold a vote on a resolution that would restore the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rules.  All 49 Democratic senators signed a letter to Speaker Ryan asking him to schedule a vote for the resolution, which passed the Senate in May. “Now that the Senate has taken this critical step, it is incumbent on the House of Representatives to listen to the voices of consumers, including the millions of Americans who supported the FCC’s 2015 net neutrality order, and keep the internet free and open for all,” they wrote. Democratic representatives will need the support of at least 25 Republican representatives in order to force a vote and pass the resolution.
