If you thought Washington—which already took over banking and autos, and is fast-tracking attempts to take over health care and energy—would leave the Internet alone, you were dead wrong. The Internet (perhaps our greatest free market success story in recent years) is squarely in the cross-hairs of the administration and it’s not waiting for Congress to act. The charge is being led by an eager, ideologically committed White House staffer named Susan Crawford. Officially, she is the Special Assistant for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy. Wired Magazine calls her, “the most powerful geek close to the president.” In recent weeks, bloggers and online activists have begun calling Crawford the "Internet Czar." The shoe fits.

In other words, the agenda of her organization is to transform access to the Internet into a government entitlement project, with all the necessary government intrusion and control in order guarantee it to everyone—in the world. Not surprisingly, listed alongside on the OneWebDay participating organizations list is a group called Free Press, which is the biggest advocacy organization pushing the Obama administration to adopt sweeping regulations of the Internet.

There’s nothing this admin doesn’t want to destroy.
Statism
Socialism
Communism
Fascism
The Baraqqis take the “best” of all these to build their utopia.

A warning: Obamunists aim to silence us - only then will they try to disarm us. They desperately need to do both in order to enslave us.
When is this insanity going to stop? It's sickening how fast these fascist, Marxist, communist pigs are taking over and destroying this country.
The Federal Government owns or controls 30 percent of all private business profits. If it take overs another 18 percent of our economy via health care, that means the Federal Government will own or control 48 percent of private business profits.
They will own or control way over 50 percent with energy (cap and tax), the recent take over of the student loan industry, the newspapers (via bailouts), and now the Internet.
Obviously control of the Internet would be a catastrophic blow to free speech, individual freedom and liberty....Which is exactly what the commie control freaks desire...
CQ. CQ. ICQ.
Sadly few are reading this and replying. Make no mistake- communism is part of the Obama plan.
This article is BS. Net Neutrality is necessary, unless you want to wake up one morning and find that the liberal media had decided to cut off access to this site.
I don't think so...This smells bad:
Not surprisingly, listed alongside on the OneWebDay participating organizations list is a group called Free Press, which is the biggest advocacy organization pushing the Obama administration to adopt sweeping regulations of the Internet.
Free Press was founded by Robert McChesney, an avowed Marxist who is Washington’s leading advocate of so-called network neutrality regulations who recently argued—on a Web site called SocialistProject.ca—that this type of Internet regulation is a prerequisite for a socialist revolution:
