Hi Rita!
Cruz and Duffy R=WI are doing yeomans work on this issue...There are nearly 40 House Sponsors (going up weekly) and 6 or 7 Senate sponsors and other senators working with Cruz.
Trump has come out in support of the Protection of Internet Freedom Act—I have posted 2 or 3 articles on Trump support for Cruz bill. I think this has been ignored by many and not well publicized unfortunately and we are down to the wire.
It truly is crunch time...I have a thread in Breaking News...Need to get McConnell to put the language into the CR to be voted on this week...Please call your reps, leadership, whoever you can.

IF YOU LIKE YOUR INTERNET, YOU CAN KEEP IT? URGENT! 2 DAYS TO VOTE FOR PROTECT INTERNET FREEDOM ACT
This is a huge issue IMHO, and I have been very busy posting articles and calling legislative offices...feel free to ask any questions :)
Thank you for your work on this and the scoop on the signatures! It is a very big deal. Which brings back my point.
Why is Ted Cruz the face of the Calvary
on this? He actually hurts the cause.
Ted, on issues, typically goes after the low hanging fruit, whatever will bring the cameras out and martial his base. Ted is out for Ted.
The secret is that no action will be passed until after Obama is out of office. This likely goes nowhere before January 20th, certainly not during the heat of the countdown days to a presidenti election.
I think it is possible that Cruz knows this very well and I wonder if it explains why our usual sentinels are virtually silent, like Rand Paul, Louie Gohmert, especially Jeff Sessions, and Trump himself has made only one remark about it I know about. I mean to say, they are giving a heads up, yes, but none are pressing any panic buttons about deadlines, like October 1st.
Something seems not to add up, but it is already known that I believe if Ted Cruz is involved, I am suspect of the veracity of the cause. LOL! So, forgive me.
Also, I am stuck on my cell phone keyboard making it hard for me to communicate or elaborate. If I sound too blunt, that is why.
Thanks, bw!
