Senate votes down S. J. Res. 6 that would have stopped FCC take over of the Internet 52 to 46

[Patricia M. McBride]

If you have not heard as yet (doubtful), the senate has voted down the Hutchison bill S. J. Res 6 which would have stopped the FCC from taking over and regulating the Internet.........otherwise known as "Net Neutrality".  And worth mentioning, it is another nail in Bill Nelson's coffin.  He voted against the bill as well which means he favored the takeover of the Internet by the Obama regime.
