Without these bills being attached to a spending bill (continuing resolution) they have no teeth and Obama will veto them. McConnell has already said he will offer a “clean bill”, so kiss your internet freedom good bye.

My internet freedom?! Uh it is your internet freedom too unless you don’t plan to be using the internet in the future...
I am well aware of McConnell’s comments—I have been in contact with Cruz’s and Duffy’s office, and I have posted numerous threads on the issue discussing this.
In fact, I discuss McConnell and his clean CR up the thread and provide McConnell’s phone number and contact form.
Some people feel it is worth a few phone calls or emails to try to keep the internet in the US.
Some folks are choosing to put pressure on McConnell thru their Senators. Some directly through contacting McConnell.
Nothing is set in stone, and if enough people put the pressure on, things may change—at the very least, this transfer of internet regulation won’t happen quietly in the middle of the night...
I suggest perhaps instead of posting comments on the thread like this one, you could take a few minutes to do something to stop this yourself?
