Demand Progress is asking for contributions for a "grassroots" push to fight Republicans' effort to repeal the Federal Communications Commission's broadband privacy rules.

The Senate voted recently along party lines (50 to 48 (with two senators not voting) to invalidate the October order, which Internet service providers, advertisers and some others want either Congress or the FCC to roll back.
