U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell said she would join with 15 of her Senate colleagues on a plan to reverse the vote by the Federal Communications Commission to repeal open internet rules.

Cantwell (D-WA) is a senior member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Technology.

Cantwell and her fellow senators said they would introduce a Congressional Review Act resolution to restore the 2015 net neutrality rules. Cantwell said Thursday’s vote by the FCC “threatens our booming innovation economy.”

“It’s impossible to know where the next big companies will come from, which makes an open and free internet all the more important to innovators, entrepreneurs and job creators — especially in the tech-driven Pacific Northwest, Cantwell said.”

The senator added that the FCC’s repeal of the rules will open the door for cable companies and internet service providers to start slowing down and blocking content, applications or websites, without consequences.

Congressional Review Act resolutions allow Congress to overturn regulatory actions at federal agencies with a simple majority vote in both chambers. The CRA resolution of disapproval would rescind FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s action and fully restore the Open Internet Order.

Other Senators co-sponsoring the CRA resolution include Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Richard Blumenthal (D–CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Gary Peters (D-MI), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Jack Reed (D-RI).

Congressman Mike Doyle (D-Penn.) plans to introduce a CRA resolution in the House of Representatives.
