Liberal philanthropist George Soros and the Ford Foundation have lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” agenda, donating $196 million and landing proponents on the White House staff, according to a new report.

And now, as the Federal Communications Commission nears approving a type of government control over the Internet, the groups are poised to declare victory in the years-long fight, according to the report from MRC Business, an arm of the conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center.

Soros and Obama want net neutrality. that is socialism for the Internet which will ruin the Internet as is their intent.
It's obamacare for the Internet.

These billionaires ,MSM etc. keep lobbying congress to let the FCC implement net neutrality.

The only chance we have to stop net neutrality is to call congress, for us to lobby congress with calls , email ,twitter etc.

don't listen to the media that says this is over. the media wants us to give up and not call congress and not do anything but accept socialism

The media and the democrat party want socialism and to take away all our rights, freedom,property ,money etc. this is a war a propaganda war for now

The executive branch appoints, the Senate confirms.

The FCC is directed by five commissioners appointed and controlled by the U.S. president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate for five-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The president designates one of the commissioners to serve as chairman. Only three commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them may have a financial interest in any FCC-related business (wiki)

Since the FCC believes they can grant themselves authority what is to stop them from writing a regulation to take over all postal communication, USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.? Or maybe they can take over the manufacture, distribution, and possession of Dixie cups - they could be used to make a stringphone. In fact, they should just seize control of all printing mechanism and all printed matter. Then they would be “in charge” of all communication.

Or we can refuse to comply.

What GeronL said, only three commissioners may be members of the same political party.

Yeah, but a lot of these Establishment Republicans are getting rich selling out America. McConnell’s net worth has gone up about 10-15 times what it was 10 years ago.

Yes....thus the *traitor* label. Those who are, obviously, putting money and power over country.
