115th U.S. Congress must restore net neutrality while it still can. No excuses.

    Congress has until December 10 to vote on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that would nullify the FCC's unpopular repeal of net neutrality. The Senate has already passed the resolution with bipartisan support, thus listening to the will of the people.

    According to University of Maryland surveys, more than 80 percent of Republican, Democratic and independent voters alike want to restore the Title II protections that ensure all safe and legal online content are treated equally. Such protections provide consumers with a more fluid and affordable Internet-usage experience and give small businesses a fair competitive shake.

    Yet so far, in Washington, this issue has been decidedly politicized. Only three GOP Senators voted in favor of the CRA, which would overturn last year's decision by the FCC's 3-2 Republican majority.

    But on November 6, 2018, the American people overwhelmingly voted for a new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. Among other issues, that wave speaks to frustration with Republican officials refusing to act on even the least partisan matters of the day.

    But until January, it is never too late for even the lame-duck incumbents to do the right thing and go leave office a high note. The easiest way to do that, and to set a proper tone for the 116th Congress, is to listen to their bipartisan and nonpartisan constituents and pass this CRA before the December 10 deadline.
