When you sign, we'll automatically send a message on your behalf to your member of Congress urging them to support the discharge petition in the House. We scored a HUGE win in our fight to save net neutrality when the Senate voted to overturn the FCC's disastrous and unpopular decision to repeal net neutrality protections. As important as this victory is, it's not the final step in the fight to save net neutrality in Congress. Now the resolution moves to the House. But before an actual vote can happen, a majority of members must sign a discharge petition in order to force a vote on the floor. We need 25 Republicans and every Democrat to sign on to make that happen. And we're already building huge momentum. Tell your member of Congress: Sign the discharge petition for the CRA resolution to restore net neutrality! A discharge petition is how we got around Sen. Mitch McConnell. He didn't want this week's vote to happen. Thanks to your hard work, we got a majority of Senators to sign the petition and force a vote on the resolution to save net neutrality -- and we won. Demand Progress and our allies are now mobilizing to do the same thing in the House. Speaker Paul Ryan doesn't want to allow a vote to save net neutrality. We know how to mobilize and get a discharge petition done. That's where you come in -- you can persuade House members can go around Paul Ryan and force a vote. The overwhelming majority of Americans support strong net neutrality protections under Title II, including 82% of Republicans, 86% of Independents, and 90% of Democrats.1 Given that nearly all Americans agree the internet should be free and open, it is only right that members bring the resolution to the floor for a vote. We have tremendous momentum coming out of the Senate vote. Many pundits and politicians thought we couldn't win it. But thanks to the sustained grassroots activism of internet users like you, we proved them wrong. There’s no time to waste. Sign the petition today and tell your member of Congress to sign the discharge petition on the CRA resolution to save net neutrality! Sources: 1.
