Over 100 activist groups urge McConnell to take up net neutrality bill in the Senate
A coalition of more than 100 activist groups is urging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to take up a bill in the upper chamber to restore net neutrality after the House voted overwhelmingly for the legislation earlier this year.
The 103 public interest groups are urging McConnell in a letter to immediately bring the Save the Internet Act, which would reinstate Obama-era net neutrality rules, to a vote in the Senate.
In response, a McConnell spokesperson directed The Hill to remarks from the majority leader earlier this year, in which he called the Save the Internet Act "dead on arrival in the Senate."
The groups are planning to deliver the letter to McConnell on Tuesday morning, on the one-year anniversary of the Federal Communications Commissions' (FCC) repeal of net neutrality rules.
"Senator McConnell, we call on you to enact the will of hundreds of millions of people who support open internet protections and broadband competition, and the millions who have taken action demanding them, by allowing Senators to vote on the Save the Internet Act," the groups wrote.

Mealy mouthed Mitch is no your friend. Now maybe if you were a well healed lobbyist.
