Will Congress stop Obama? Will we still have a free and open Internet in January, 2017?

I am dreading the loss of freedom on the Internet if the USA loses control. Can someone explain what will actually happen if our Congress will not/cannot stop this transfer?

Has the Republican Congress ever stopped Obama on anything? You will not recognize the Internet in 12 months.

Like so much of the constitutionally dubious actions by Jugears et all, I don’t think we have anything of this magnitude to compare.

Is this a trick question?

There is no “cannot”, so it’s a matter of will. And the Uniparty’s will is the same as Obama’s will.

FR could vanish in a flash, could it not? That is my concern. I don’t feel an identity with FR, but certainly an affiliation, and I would feel all asea if such a thing were to happen.

Yeah I think every one of those paid ba$tard$ would sell their souls to the devil to live a life of unparalleled riches, or in this case to Soros who is the Devil’s earthly soul broker.

Yes, because they bought the snow job offered up by the White House that it is a step in the direction of smaller government.

Of course FR will vanish. Breitbart, Drudge.... There will be no way to communicate.

Better brush up on our ham radio skills.

Do we have a plan? Some kind of low bandwidth maintenance channel? Something like that?

Trump is supporting Cruz’s attempt to stop Obama from giving away the internet.

Better keep an eye out for the next ICANN - an American company that will not put up with international BS.

what is your yes based on if it is being turned over at the end of this month?

do you have a plan on how to get control back?

It will Not be relinquished once attained.

Too many people on this board acing like Namath but there’s only one Namath and guarantees are a dangerous thing.
