Corporate hardliners in the Senate are rushing to push through a measure to give phone and cable companies absolute, unrestricted power over the Internet. Called a "resolution of disapproval," this measure would destroy all existing Net Neutrality protections and strip the FCC of its authority to protect Internet users - letting companies block our right to speak freely, connect with one another and share information on the Internet. We need just 51 votes in the Senate to stop this free speech-killing measure in its tracks. Take action now to stand up for online freedom.
