These days, no popular movement goes without an Internet presence of some kind, whether it’s organizing on Facebook or spreading the word through Twitter. And as we’ve seen in Egypt, that means that your Internet connection can be the first to go. Whether you’re trying to check in with your family, contact your friends, or simply spread the word, here are a few ways to build some basic network connectivity when you can’t rely on your cellular or landline Internet connections.

What would be their rationale for shutting down the internet? This is the voice of the people, and in a land where there is freedom of speech protected by the constitution, they would be guilty of violating the very document they are sworn to protect from, “all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

He's violated the Constitution ever since he stepped into public office.  He doesn't uphold or protect it, he trashes it on a daily basis.  He thumbed his nose at it when it was being read on the House floor and instead of defending his rationale for socialized health care, he trashed the Florida judge (called him an outlier) who used the Constitution as the basis for his opinion in Florida v. Sebelius.

Freedom of speech is a Constitutional right, your access to the internet is not.

If the government shuts the internet down I’ll be bored. I’ll have to drink beer, clean my guns and think dark thoughts. :)
