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coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
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.

"..immediately preceding", didn't get that.
But still, there isn't going to be a primary election in 30 days, or am I seriously missing something?

This is about as funny as the time my mom told me she had cancer as a joke.

in all seriousness, not to take away from the importance of this being a "flash point" for everyone to rally around to try and get this crap stopped - a backup plan, a fund raising effort, to locate a backup server somewhere outside the US - is not a bad idea. I'll contribute.
To: Jim Robinson
Is John McCain a bloomin' dirty rat fink communist? Seems like we're back in the old corrupt defunct U.S.S.R.
Just what the hell is "non-government approved electioneering messages" supposed to mean?
I thought the government was for the people, by the people and of the people, not John McCain on some hormonal freakout.
Jim Robinson, is this for sure true? If so, be prepared for a bunch of dedicated FReeper addicts forced into cold turkey withdrawals.

This is a joke, right? A very bad joke at that. The entire internet would be shut down. This can't possibly be for real. And how is it constitutional? Oh, that's right. Agenda trumps the Comstitution.

What happened to the 1st amendment? I thought that open discussions were still allowed here in Amerika
Well if I am denied a voice then I will seek to deny the press a voice as well.
