This is just a drill: Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for

Free Republic ^

[Jim Robinson]

Now hear this:

Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.

That is all.

---

The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Will NBC, CBS, MSN, CNN and ABC be refrained from making ANY usual BIASED news reports?

[Revel]

There seems to be lot of sidestepping of the constitution these days. IMO Executive orders are another tool used for this purpose. Anyways it seems that maybe all the noise that you made scared the FEC a little bit. At least if the Washington post article from the other day is correct. They will try again later. They always do. Thanks for your reply.

This song was not written about political speech, but I think it applies and would be a good anthem for the cause of free speech right now.
You can listen to Shut Me Out..(I typed Shut Me UP...LOL that's the opposite of what we want LOL)

Shut Me Out by Kutless

Tell me something I don't already know
I know that you can't stand these things I'm preaching in the streets
But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see

So I don't mind putting up with you
And all the things you say
I'm not about to stop
Or even change my ways

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth

You may not like all I have to say
But you can't prove that everything is filled with empty words
I know my life and inside how I've changed
A testimony to the truth I speak

So I don't mind putting up with you
And all the things you say
I'm not about to stop
Or even change my ways

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me off, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me off, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth

Who and what are the political forces behind McCain, that encourage him to put forward bills of this nature?

[Jim Robinson]

I don't know. He's a strange beast.

[OPS4]

JOhn McCain is has now killed his chance for the Presidencey, and I will vote against, and campaign against him up to the last minute before the polls close in all states, over the Internet, and will recruit thousands to help.

This is the last straw!

ping me when you find it. Thank you.

All you do is move the dang server to Tonga...and thats the end of that problem. Freedom of speech...across the digital world...is impossible to stop. I can just about anything I want, and find server space somewhere to do it. This is all a joke to rile everyone up over nothing.

[jazusamo]

You're right, that's exactly what it was. Looks like every things okay but there are still a few who are not happy with the the latest decisions because they're afraid the FEC can just change the rules.

I checked your home page and you mentioned Ripley, would that be the thriving metropolis of Ripley, CA?

[papasmurf]

It already is.

I take it you’ve changed your mind?

Just a guess, but I’d say yeah.

It sure came around to bite him in the butt, didn’t it?

[OPS4]

Let’s see what happens after we so called rhino supporters of McCain have our say with his campaign directors.

If this is the case I will take action on the net via YOU TUBE IFILM and othe viral sites with a video clip to create the uprising against this, B.S. myself!

Thanks for posting this.

This stuff is fascinating... so many people were so spot on about this guy. Reading some of the comments it’s like everyone was reading a crystal ball and seeing what we’re dealing with today.

[OPS4]

I am getting into the meat of this as we speak, I will post any replies I receive from the campaign, for all to read.
