For those of you who are following the bi-partisan effort to
preserve net neutrality in the Senate Commerce Committee, today is the day to call your Senator. I live in Oregon, so I called my Senator, Gordon Smith, a Republican who sits on the Commerce Committee. An
update by mcjoan at Daily Kos identified Senator Smith as one of the more-likely Republican supporters of the Snowe/Dorgan amendment (S. 2917) which would provide strong protections for net neutrality.
A staffer for my Senator, Gordon Smith (R-OR), told me Smith will not be supporting the Snowe/Dorgan amendment to protect net neutrality.
I hope we won't need this sell-out's vote. Other Republicans who may go our way are McCain, Allen, and Hutchison. If you live in Arizona, Texas, or Virginia, please call your Senator, and ask them to support Snowe/Dorgan.
