With Friday deadline, these 16 House Democrats about to go down in history for helping GOP kill Internet as we know it
The U.S.
House still has an opportunity to side with the vast majority of the
American public and overturn the Republican-controlled FCC's net
neutrality repeal, but time is quickly running out.
With
Friday, Dec. 21, marking the official deadline to restore net
neutrality in this session of Congress, the House still needs 38
signatures to pass the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that
would reverse the FCC's deeply unpopular repeal, which was crafted by
agency chairman and former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai.
According
to Fight for the Future, 16 Democrats—all of whom are major
recipients of telecom cash—still haven't signed on to the CRA. To
pass, the CRA needs every Democrat and at least 22 Republicans to
sign on before the Friday deadline.
The 16
House Democrats who still haven't signed on to the Congressional
Review Act (CRA) measure to restore net neutrality protections are:
Reps. Brandon Boyle (Pa.), Robert Brady (Pa.), G.K. Butterfield
(N.C.), Matt Cartwright (Pa.), Jim Costa (Calif.), Henry Cueller
(Texas), Dwight Evans (Pa.), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Josh
Gottheimer (N.J.), Gene Green (Texas), Tom O'Halleran (Ariz.), Brad
Schneider (Ill.), David Scott (Ga.), Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), Filemon
Vela (Texas), and Pete Visclosky (Ind.).
