A group of US senators Wednesday launched a bipartisan caucus aimed at promoting global Internet freedom, saying the Web should allow free speech and not be used by governments to crack down on dissent.

Other top senators in the caucus included Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Dick Durbin of Illinois, and former Republican presidential candidate John McCain of Arizona.
"The fundamental freedom of all people to speak, associate, and develop their full potential is inextricably linked to the freedom of the Internet and all communications online," said McCain.
"But governments that deny the basic rights of their people are now building new and better means to expand their oppression into cyberspace. This caucus will help the United States to further our goal of keeping the Internet free, everywhere and for all people."

FUJM!
"I would rather have a clean government
than one whose — quote — First Amendment rights
are being respected that has become corrupt.
If I had my choice, I’d rather have a clean government."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 24 APR. 2006 (see 1:25 at link)
What the he!! is going on with Dick Durbin? He basically stood up in congress and called Obama a liar and now this.
Too late, McCain! Get lost.
What’s this “clean government” BS, can anyone name me a “clean government”? Replace these people, come on folks, don’t go wimpy and wussy, fight these b******ds!
So.....they’re forming a caucus to promote internet freedom...
M’kay...if they all just leave it alone and do nothing, we’re fine, right? More show. It’s not like any of them are going to confront China!
This is a bad thing, no? I see you never fail in your duty of posting the daily McCain bash. BTW, which other RINOs are we supposed to hate? Romney? Huckabee? Graham? McConnell? Steele? I get confused here often as many names seem to constantly pop up.
