The debate of net neutrality is still ongoing in our government, they can’t seem to agree to just one decision. Net neutrality would fall in the legislative branch as it restores the rules adopted by FCC. Since Net neutrality is a still outgoing debate, both sides of congress can’t really decide on just one law for it, one side wants to control the internet, but the other side seems to want freedom for the internet as it should be a right to have.
Net neutrality is one area that is yet to be actually decided on, as the senate keeps trying to pass different laws but never making past the congress as both the democrats and republicans can’t decide. As the democrats came up with Save the Internet Act of 2019, which was an act to help stop the abusing companies who are trying to get you to pay more for access that shouldn’t be different. The republicans don’t like the idea of them, but it seems it’s just not being passed because of a rivalry. My idea of saving net neutrality is to make a system where the internet and access to anything type of media should be a free right. Passing a law like this is to actually contact your congressmen since it seems that the reason, we can’t have an actual act is because they can’t decide on just one reason. Many reasons why the representatives really haven’t passed any actual laws that everyone agrees on is mainly because they don’t actually understand what net neutrality is, they don’t actually know that they helping citizens have their own free will to the net.
A legislature bill would be the way to go, as we want to make a proposal on how to finally end this debate. Making a proposal to accomplish the enactment of the legislature that will have a good benefit on our community and society, we can stop letting big corporate companies who only want more money and control how fast our speed could be in some areas. If congress wants voters to actually vote they need to actually learn what this actually means, that net neutrality will benefit everyone. Protesting is to ensure that everyone has a voice and by protesting we can pass a legislature bill faster, let them know that we are serious about this.
The one thing why many don’t want to actually follow a plan is because many congressmen would be awarded by the big companies, they rather go against net neutrality something that benefits their voters. AT&T, Verizon, and other companies award them for not actually voting for it, the congressmen would lose election money. So, money is a big reason why we still don’t have net neutrality, a big monopoly. Many bills have made it to the senate but never actually make it passed the congress,
I would pass a legislature bill to congress, making a proposal to our congress, letting them know that we do care about our control over the internet. As suggesting a plan like that we could get many people to actually protest and let our congressmen that we will stop voting for them, knowing that they will have fewer voters. The reason why the house will not pass an actual bill is that the difference of parties, the republicans don’t want to follow an act that the democrats actually tried to pass. The other reason could be because of the money many congressmen would lose from the big corporate companies that give them money for the elections.
Suggest: I agree that the solution to reinstating net neutrality would be towards pushing Congress to pass a bill, but the issue isn’t solely towards congress, the bill would also need to be approved by the President. “Because both the House and the Senate can and often do amend bills, the bills that pass out of each chamber frequently look different. This presents a problem, since the Constitution requires that both chambers pass identical bills…only then can the bill progress to the president’s desk for signature or veto. If the president does veto the bill, both chambers must muster a two-thirds vote to overcome the veto and make the bill law without presidential approval.”(https://openstax.org/books/american-government-2e/pages/11-5-the-legislative-process#OSC_AmGov_11_05_BilltoLaw) I would suggest you to add this quote from the book into the second paragraph and state the problem to why this along with the previous factors you’ve mentioned are a problem to why net neutrality has yet to be passed.
So my suggestion would be to start from this sentence. ” Passing a law like this is to actually contact your congressmen since it seems that the reason, we can’t have an actual act is because they can’t decide on just one reason. ” And add the following, “This, along with the president, shows why making a bill in congress is hard. “Because both the House and the Senate can and often do amend bills, the bills that pass out of each chamber frequently look different. This presents a problem, since the Constitution requires that both chambers pass identical bills…only then can the bill progress to the president’s desk for signature or veto. If the president does veto the bill, both chambers must muster a two-thirds vote to overcome the veto and make the bill law without presidential approval.” (https://openstax.org/books/american-government-2e/pages/11-5-the-legislative-process#OSC_AmGov_11_05_BilltoLaw) “
Didn’t rewrite a precise quote. Graded as inquiry.
Reflection: I agree with congressmen losing money with big corporate companies since some do endorse and donate money for elections.
