Congress Can and MUST Save the Internet from Obama

Kudos to Ted Cruz for leading this fight. Trump should make this a top issue of his freedom platform.

Of course, the leader of the anti-freedom movement (and his successor Hillary) would work to extinguish the last frontier of freedom in the information battle-space. Sites like mine will go the way of the First Amendment — to the dustbin of free societies. This is the fight.

The UN is controlled by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), the largest world body at the UN, consisting of 56 Muslim countries and the “Palestinian” Authority. The OIC has who worked feverishly to impose Islamic law and criminalize free speech. Obama means to hand off our precious freedom to them.

Hillary brought the caliphate-inspired Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to Washington, DC to meet behind closed doors on plans to implement laws and policies to impose Islamic restrictions on speech. Hillary has vowed to shut down opposition websites if she wins.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.

A free society is by its nature one in which people put up with others being uncivil and offensive. The alternative is a quiet authoritarian society in which only one opinion is allowed and the others are silenced, and ultimately sent to the camps.

Don’t know why but Trump won’t touch this. I’ve tweeted him and his whole team several times but nada. Also, Drudge & Breitbart have made this headlines but Trump still AWOL on issue.

I posted a similar thread about this last week and the majority of the responses weren't about "saving the internet", they were about how evil Ted Cruz is and they're not supporting anything he's involved in.

It was Incredible!

The whole “transfer the Internet to “world governance”” has been going on since at least 1999. People are waking up now that there are 3 weeks left?

I’ve seen similar behavior and just shake my head. Incredible indeed.

Doesn’t this require Congressional approval or will the Great Dictator just order it to be done?

Congress won’t. They won’t even send sgt at arms to arrest those dodging subpoenas.

Only American should have control of the Internet.
The UN will censor the instant they have it.

When was the last time that post-17th Amendment ratification, Constitution-ignoring Congress did anything right? (question followed by sound of happy chirping crickets)

Since corrupt Congress will probably ignore that control of Internet is a national security issue, I hope that Trump will be able to rescue the Internet.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Ted made himself radioactive, and people don’t want anything to do with him.

The only thing that surprises me about it is that he and his supporters don’t seem to see it at all.

Far as the internet goes, no, it doesn’t seem like the GOP is about to nut up and stop Obama for the first time ever on anything.

Who his supporters are or were is not relevant, what is relevant is that he's right on this issue.

OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), the largest world body at the UN, consisting of 56 Muslim countries and the “Palestinian” Authority.

This would make up what Obammy referred to along time ago as the ‘57 states’ he campaigned in.

The do-nothing congress will do what it always does: nothing.

He may well be right on the issue, but it boils down to the old if a tree falls in the woods, and there’s no one there to hear it...

He has rendered himself totally ineffective.

What really pisses me off is that the whole GOP Congress is ineffective.

If they were doing their Constitutional appointed duty, 0bozo would be stopped cold in his tracks regarding this internet giveaway.

The election is distracting our attention from this critical issue. See my tagline.

I called my Congressman, Adam Kinzinger (R - Ill 16) DC office yesterday to ask, “What is my Representative planning to do to prevent Obama from ceding control of the Internet’s ICANN group to the UN?” They had no idea what this is about or the impact it will have on our freedoms. Most of the current Congress seem to be globalists who are intentionally destroying the USA.
