Though led by digital specific interest group TechFreedom, the coalition includes a number of different organizations like Heritage Action for America and Americans for Tax Reform. And they all argue that more than just internet regulation is at issue.

It sounds like the logical path to pursue, to protect our freedoms.

When internet rules of the EU are in place, most commentary her on FR will result in prosecution for hate crimes.

“..to protect our freedoms.”

I hope EVERYONE realizes how this can take a HUGE chunk off our freedoms, and Obama will give away our internet in less than two months, unless we can stop it.

We need to call our senators and let them know how we feel PRONTO.
