" The most important FCC vote of our lifetime is about to happen.
"On Feb 26 the FCC will vote to save net neutrality or let Comcast and other ISPs create Internet slow lanes. Some members of Congress, on behalf of their Cable donors, are trying to stop the FCC from protecting the Internet we love. There isn't much time to stop them, contact them now.
Internet users: Spread the word.
"Telling everyone about the vote is a key part of winning real net neutrality. We need your help to do just that. If you use twitter, click "Join with Twitter" below, and you can sign up to tweet once a day from now until the vote, or just once right before the vote. It's your choice. If you don't have twitter, then sign up with your email and we'll send you a list of different ways you can help.
BTTT!
WT...huh?
What we need is the federal government to regulate and control an industry so that the free market does not?
If it is so great why is the FCC so afraid to release the details to the public so the public can review and decide for themselves?
Allow the FCC to misapply regulations from the early days of telephone to resolve a problem that doesn’t exist, and relies upon widespread misunderstanding of how each the Internet and finances work in order to spread fear.
What the hell is this. A FReeper pushing for government take over of the internet?
Has an account been hacked?
Free Republic would be high on the list to be “nuetralized”.
Get this crap off these pages please.
The first thing this will do is give government more things to tax, and people will pay special fees to help subsidize the “poor” getting high-speed internet too.
If the obongo administration is pushing it, if george soros spent over $196 million promoting it, Ted Cruz is fighting it and the FCC refuses to give details..... it has to be in our best interests right?
Soros, Ford shovel $196 million to 'net neutrality' groups, staff to White House
Although the author is too kind by far in his description of Soros:
Liberal philanthropist George Soros ...
Who, as we all know, is a fascist, nation-wrecking criminal profiteer who doesn't give a dime to any cause that he doesn't expect a 1000% profit from down the road.
Are you a raving lunatic?
Protect the freedom of the internet by bringing it under government regulation???
Have you paid attention to anything the last 50 years?
Did you read this *letter* you posted?
Do you know who this is sponsored by?
Net neutrality is just Obamacare for the Internet and is socialism. stop it . call or email congress
Historically, whenever a revolution or coup starts, the very first action is to take control of all communication - radio, TV. etc.
Government is tasked with protecting Life & Liberty. In all but matters of life & death: A NO to government regulation is a YES to liberty.
Oh please please federal government, take our Internet away and give it to us the way you see best!!! Thank you! Love you! !!
Why the ***k are you on this forum, one of the very first that will be shut right down?
You posted the letter, and a post below it supporting the concept.
You are an enemy of freedom, then, for as I wrote in another post:
Anti-free-speech legislation will quickly be introduced... oh, I'm sorry, we don't do that any more. Obama will quickly sign an Executive Order that will ban Hate Speech and Terrorism Speech.
The definition of those will be: Any criticism of Muslims. Any criticism of gays. Any criticism of the Orwellian Police State. Distribution of any news not coming from the Communist Propaganda Organs of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NYT, the WP, or the LAT. Blockages of the often-insightful news coming from England.
The FCC will be granted SWAT teams, and they will be used to kill and arrest anyone who dissents from the official propaganda line. And you know what? You will never hear about those raids. That will be forbidden news, too.
We are now to be 100% just like the Soviet Union, in absolutely every way.
You are clueless.
If you liked the IRS treatment of TEA Party and Patriot groups you’ll love what the FCC does to them!
If this is the way you want to live take your worthless butt to North Korea!
