Sen John Kennedy Could Be the Internet's Hero

As Congress considers a measure that would overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s vote that destroyed Network Neutrality and put the internet’s entire future at risk, all eyes are on Sen John Kennedy (R-LA). Right now that measure has 50 supporters in the Senate — and needs just one more vote to pass.

Sen Kennedy has been telling the press that he’s “honestly undecided” and that it’s a “very, very close call.” Activists and advocates have been cheering the senator on, calling on him to be a hero and stand up for his constituents and the open internet. The week of Jan 29, activists showed up at the senator’s offices in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans and Shreveport to deliver more than 6,000 petition signatures from constituents urging Kennedy to back the resolution of disapproval to reverse the FCC’s bad decision.
