Here is a link to how your representative voted on net neutrality yesterday.
As millions of us raised our voices to defend the free and open Internet2 , Internet operators like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast spent millions lobbying the House of Representatives to kill Net Neutrality. A majority of the House members caved—voting for a telecommunications law that would give these companies more control over what you see and do online.
All eyes are now on the Senate, which considers this issue next. We face a more friendly environment there, but we've got to act fast—the telecom lobbyists are working on every vote.
1) Vote tally on COPE telecommunications law (which guts Net Neutrality), June 8, 2006
