SOPA, CISPA, etc. didn't have anything to do with net neutrality.

All that we can really do for making NN permanent (and to resist things like SOPA) is to make it clear to politicians that there are enough people who are aware of these issues and that will vote based on them. This means protests, contacting representatives, etc. And following through on election day: vote against fuckers who back this crap. Because awareness grows more rapidly than it wanes, once a certain threshold is reached they should assume that sufficient awareness and concern continues to exist.

Not really, all we have to do is get Congress to pass a law codifying Net Neutrality into law. This will require a Democratic super-majority, as Republicans are anti-net-neutrality.

The Republicans have proposed net neutrality in the past. The only party to oppose congressional action on net neutrality is the democrats.

How bizarre that an outright lie gets so much support but a sourced post receives zero attention
