New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, signed on with eight other Democrats and Independent Bernie Sanders to a letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, calling for the FCC to protect net neutrality. Recently, Wheeler and the FCC proposed changes that internet activists say will allow companies with big money to control who gets to use what speed on the internet. The FCC is scheduled to vote on the proposed rules on May 15, although two commissioners have asked to delay the vote.
