If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
Republicans have raised alarms

And that’s about all they’ll do. The White Flag Party will do nothing about it, as usual.
Really?!
When Obama comes out and Speeches at everyone about the new FCC Rules you’ll see Obama did dictate Web rules
Yet the white house is all over twitter thanking everyone for their support of net neutrality.

Riiiiiiiiight.
“I’m quite comfortable that we made this decision with independence and wisdom and based on the record”
Guess he had to vote for it so we could find out what’s in it. Tradition, you know.... worked so well the last time.
Since when in these last 6 years has anything they have told us to be the truth? AND THAT IS THE REASON THEY PASSED THIS.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
It doesn’t matter if Obama didn’t dictate web rules. Both RINO-controlled Congress and FCC bureaucrats are wrongly ignoring that Constitution permits only elected members of Congress to regulate interstate electronic communications, and only to some extent imo.
After this jerk leaves the Presidency, it will be interesting to see how much the choom-gang raises for his ‘library’.
The FCC takeover of regulation of the internet is akin to the feds takeover of heaalthcare via 0bamacare.
Let your representatives know that the government has no business taking taxes and telling internet providers how to offer the internet to customers. This needs to be turned around by legislation ASAP.
If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.

Obama’s actions during the last day or so include attempts to eviscerate both the First and Second Amendments,and we need to contact our congressional reps who are responsible for holding this lawbreaker accountable.
On August 12, 2008, FCC Commissioner Robert M. McDowell stated that the reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine could be intertwined with the debate over network neutrality (a proposal to classify network operators as common carriers required to admit all Internet services, applications and devices on equal terms), presenting a potential danger that net neutrality and Fairness Doctrine advocates could try to expand content controls to the Internet.[39] It could also include "government dictating content policy". [Wiki source]
"government dictating content policy"? Yes. Obama long-time friend says yes! and he uses Free Republic as a prime reason for the need.
He recently left the Administration to take a job at Harvard.
Well of course he didn’t...Soros did...
In a Fox News story, the tools for the destruction of free speech stand out:
These new rules would not only affect your services, it would also give FCC regulators the power to decide what content on the Internet was “just and reasonable.” Commissioner Tom Wheeler makes the absurd comment that the FCC would never use those powers. But in a February 4 issue of Wired, he already hints at ways bureaucrats could start dictating what they view as “threats” on the Internet:
“…my proposal includes a general conduct rule that can be used to stop new and novel threats to the Internet. This means the action we take will be strong enough and flexible enough not only to deal with the realities of today, but also to establish ground rules for the as yet unimagined.”
Wheeler needs to be deported.
So where did 300+ pages of “rules” come from virtually overnight?
Never mind the fact that the government thru the FCC is now controlling the internet.

Probably not too far off. You know as soon as they made their intent known months ago they probably put people on it because they knew the GOP would fold like a cheap tent and nothing would stop them especially if the stuffed envelopes are being handed out...so you can probably guess the “surveillance system” has been activated or will be activated soon. They won’t start tampering with right wing sites just yet. They’ll let people get comfortable and then the outages will start later followed by door knocks and unlawful searches and seizures by DHS officials. Mark my words ....
