and even if gets 51 votes in the Senate, even if Paul Ryan allows it to come to a vote in the House, even if it gets a majority in the House, it could be vetoed by Trump, in which case, it would take a 2/3 vote in the House and Senate to successfully invoke the CRA.

Which is my way of suggesting that folks not get their hopes up.

which Eddie Munster can't randomly wave away.

However forcing it on the calendar for consideration also requires 218 signatures which obviously might not happen but it puts the issue out into the spotlight.

Supposedly there is some bipartisan agreement about net neutrality but would it be enough to pass the resolution? And even if it passed in the Senate, it would also need to pass the House, which has more of a vote spread...

constituents can know how their Republican "representatives," particularly those running for reelection, voted?

This is what we mean when we ask you to fight! We know that you can't win them all, or even very many of them right now, but fighting for the people lets them know where you stand, and it's even better when you can get those corrupt sobs to go on the record where they stand as well.

we can!

Which is a good thing. Repubs do this all the time to create votes to be used in campaign ads. Two can play that game. Hope all D and I vote for repeal. Make the R's squirm.

I can't see the Turtle letting that come to a vote.

When Gomer can't get his porn, he needs to know why.

the average voters uses the internet to read Facebook, buy things on Amazon and watch cat videos. They'll likely never notice.

I agree that the internet has effectively become a public utility, like electricity and phones. Some businesses are entirely on the internet, some can only be contacted via the internet now, so on and so forth. It has replaced the library as the primary source of information on anything for the entire populace.

Net Neutrality has overwhelming support with the public. Over 80%. At worst, this goes nowhere but we get it on the record that the Republicans crashed something with that much public favor.
