Senator John Thune (R-SD) took $928,428 from ISPs

The US Senate just voted 52 to 47 to block the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality and restore protections that prevent ISPs like Comcast and Verizon from controlling what we see and do online with censorship, throttling, and expensive new fees.

Now, we need to move our focus to the House. Our best chance to force a vote will be between now and the midterm elections. Head over to BATTLEFORTHENET.COM now to tell your House Representative to vote for the net neutrality CRA.

This was a simple up or down vote on the freedom of the open internet. Here are the US Senators who voted NO on the net neutrality CRA, and how much money they have taken from ISPs:
