Signature needed: Urge these two Democratic FCC Commissioners to save net neutrality: Over the past few months, we’ve been talking a lot about FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and his net neutrality proposal, but we should be clear that the decision is not his alone to make. Chairman Wheeler will need two votes to enact net neutrality rules and they will need to come from Democratic Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Mignon Clyburn because the needed votes won’t be coming from the Republican Commissioners. This presents us and the Commissioners with a real opportunity to push for the right net neutrality rules with solid legal authority under Title II of the Telecommunications Act to prevent the ISPs from creating paid prioritization on internet “fast lanes.” Both of these Commissioners have voiced concern about the current proposal. Both of these commissioners has a proven record of public service. And, both commissioners attended a public forum in Sacramento hosted by Rep. Doris Matsui to listen to concerns about the current proposal—notably absent was Chairman Wheeler. Both of these Commissioners can become our net neutrality champions.
