FCC Keeps Its 'Open Internet' Plan Hidden From View

How's this for irony? The Federal Communications Commission, which wants to regulate the Internet heavily to make it more "open," is refusing to let the public see its proposed rules before the commissioners vote on them in two weeks.

We like our internet. Can we keep our internet?

Didn’t think so...

[Terry L Smith]

Some animals are more equal than others.

This is why we need to see that plan in the clear. I don't want a situation where the FCC reserves to the right to determine what is legal or not online--a clear violation of the First Amendment right of free speech.

Call and Write your Rep and Senators!

This Suppression of Freedom Must NOT Stand!

We have the power to STOP this if we ACT NOW!

It’s well past time to clean house and throw out the garbage in government. No document affecting our lives should be passed while being cloaked in secrecy. How did “You have to pass it to see what’s in it” work out for the average American?

And of course our inillustrious Congress....

[Joe Boucher]

This is all to make it illegal to criticize islam and our dear leader
Maggot mooselimb that he is.

[Humal]

” the commissioners vote on them...”

Wouldn’t Congress have to vote on this? Can a board of commissioners (probably political appointees) make laws affecting us?

[i_robot73]

It is to laugh.....expecting Congress, whom ILLEGALLY created out whole cloth this entity now run amok, to do ANYTHING?! Let alone reduce the power they themselves usurped, heaven forbid the word ABOLISH?

It is to cry.

Not only do they hide the laws they desire to pass from the public's eyes, they send forth paid liars to create multiple clones of websites that incite unrest without real explanation of their existence. Either they don't know what they're doing, or they don't want anyone to know what they truly advocate.

All I need do is look at the advocates for 'net neutrality' as posited by them, and their list befins with 0bama. Warren, Reid, Pelosi, Franken,Sanders, Lewis and Schumer are on their 'Team Internet.' Their enemy is 'Team Cable,' big business, what a shock there--capitalism, the enemy of socialism now and always, and the true 'poker tell' you can't miss. Also, the clenched fist, another tell:

Stop the warder boarding the Internet!
