Either We Lose Internet on Sept 30 or We BEG CONGRESS [aw!m vanity]

Posted on 08/29/2016 6:05:22 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

Just this morning Drudge sounded the alarm:

'UN COULD TAKE CONTROL OF INTERNET'.

But it doesn't matter who Obama chooses. He announced that he would be giving away the internet, the earthly CROWN JEWEL of worldwide freedom. And knowing who he is, he will give it to people who believe in 'hate speech' and anything that censors meaningful opposition to his perverse agenda.

Let's face facts.

We are on the verge of losing the internet on September 30 -- this year.

The only people to save us are the very republicans we criticize the most.

We must eat humble pie and BEG them to save the internet from Obama's giveaway.

[Details coming up.]

I called my “representatives” in DC, and none of them claimed to know anything about it.

Tell them to go to Drudge report—or email them the WSJ article from yesterday on Drudge.

Well if you and Drudge are kooky, then so is The Wall Street Journal, Breitbart, and the Daily Mail in the U.K.


I am going to email the WSJ piece to my Senators. Not sure what House would do on this, but will send to them too.

Someone I know who is politically active recently told me that letter writing is actually very effective. They work on some meme where they presume that for every letter they receive, they presume it represents the opinion of 100,000 other people who don’t bother to write letters.

I forgot what he called it, but I thought that was very interesting.

And if you do not remember the fallout over HR^, the bill that would have heavily regulated homeschooling and the resulting outcry that happened, people’s opinion is important and does matter.

The Battle of HR6.
https://www.hslda.org/about/history/battle_hr6.asp

Ping to the homeschool list for that history plus, if this happens, it WILL affect homeschooling which I know depends heavily on internet resources.


So you are suggesting that writing a letter carried over snail mail would be more effective than an email?

Perhaps a postcard campaign could be initiated too?

Right! Or should I say ‘Write!’

Yes, writing letters by hand is more compelling than a phone call. That has been said by congressional staffers.

God bless you, metmom!

Great to ‘hear’ from you.

FRegards ....


OK, I will write letters and enclose the WSJ article.

Along those lines, does anyone know of a program that will crawl (scrape) a website of all documents? Automatically? With storage space so cheap, I’d do that to so many websites.

The best thing that could ever happen to mankind is if we lost the internet. And Hollywood.

All TV networks and liberal universities.

I guess they figure that anyone serious enough to take the time and trouble to actually write and mail a letter is serious about it.

Calls and emails are effective as well, but I don’t recall if he said they reached the same level of effectiveness by representing the same calculated number of people.

Sorry, unable to help you here. It is Web Archive and the Wayback Machine when a long ago site wishes to be seen. There are times when it cannot even be found there, depending on certain conditions.

Who knows, 10 years from now under UN supervision, our internet will exist of no more than a tin can and string held together by spider webs and NSA doing their part by producing more corn to can in order there be enough tin cans for everyone.

If we lose the internet, how do you propose the truth be disseminated?

Snail mail news letters like in the 80s?

He’ll give it to North Korea or Venezuela and they’ll eat it.

I agree. I think calling or emailing is better than nothing tho...

I photocopied WSJ article to enclose with letter. Anyone have an idea of who might be committee chair for this type of matter?

You seem informed and mentioned ‘USCC’?

I’m dyslexic and first assumed you mean’t United State Surpreme Court — a group that would only speed up the giveaway.

But did you mean ‘United States Chamber of Commerce’?

‘Too many conspiracy theory nuts on FR.’

Drudge, Breitbart, [UK] Daily News, and Wall Street Journal are just as nutty as I am about this issue.

Then you post a link about Trump protecting children from PORN???

That’s the piddly side of this issue. Freedom of Speech. The way all of us are able to communicate.

My blood pressure reached 135 over 102 yesterday due to this matter. Then I felt chest pains on the left side.

Please forgive me if I seem to be too kooky!
