House rejects Net neutrality rules | Tech News on ZDNet
By a 269-152 vote that fell largely along party lines, the House Republican leadership mustered enough votes to reject a Democrat-backed amendment that would have enshrined stiff Net neutrality regulations into federal law and prevented broadband providers from treating some Internet sites differently from others.

The Bill in question is Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006(CORE) it must now go to the Senate. I assume that it will first be considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee And from there to the floor. Contact the members of the committee, especially if you are one of their constituents. Let them know you want fairness preserved and protected on the Internet.
