The leftist power grab continues -this time we see the FCC overstepping it legal mandate. If not by corrupted legislative process then around it with 'policy' change. Two more years of these commmunists...

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES EXPLICITLY SAID THEY MAY NOT DO THIS.

THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.

If they think we protested last year, just wait until this comes up next year. The folks will not stand for this.

Curious this would happen at the exact same time as this:

We tried it you little people’s way.

And we found out that you say things we ruling elitists don’t agree with.

So we’re going to take your free speech.

When you learn how to use it, then you can have it back.

Now pay your taxes, we need a raise. :)

The 112th House should DEFUND the FCC until they repeal this rule. Let's see how the GOP stands up to unpopular opinions and instead rules on PRINCIPLE.

According to this article, the new rules “will prohibit Internet service providers such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from blocking access to lawful content and websites.”

How is that a bad thing? I admittedly don’t know what “net neutrality” is ...

Anyone remember all the leftists who used to run around screaming when Bush Jr. & Sr. was President about how the Republicans wanted to stifle freedom of choice and creativity?

Where are these morons now?

Cass Sunstein’s hands are all over this. And those RINO’s who allowed his appointment to go through should be tarred and feathered as well.

How!!! We have lost control of America. Having the House alone will do very little. Keep hearing cut funding, that is a joke. Is everyone forgetting King Obama and his pen. He has the ability to just ignore the House and hand billions to anyone or anything he wants. Isn't that what has happened for months? War is near.

If you were a Vonage and a FIOS customer, would you want Verizon blocking your VoIP traffic because you weren’t using Verizon’s VoIP? If you were a Comcast and Netflix customer, would you want Comcast blocking or restricting your access to Netflix because Comcast thinks they should control your Internet service and that you should be going to them for streaming movies? That’s where we were heading and a lot of people can’t change providers. Comcast knows many people can’t move. Why do you think Comcast has gotten away with such crappy service without worrying about losing customers? Internet providers are providing other services than just network access and they don’t want you going to their competitors. Do you want to be able to access more than just Cox’s services if your only access to the Internet is via Cox? This is a preemptive move. I’m not sure the FCC should have the authority to do this but it’s something that needs to be done.

The Constitution tells me that I do not have to abide this illegal ruling. It is illegal and the federal government has overstepped its bounds. Odumbo is striving to say that the people he has appointed to non elected offices have greater authority than the courts There is a sysytem of checks and balances Legislative Executive and the Court. I will no0taccept the lso called it has nothing do with it is claims It is a control issue.

RE: Internet

Gatekeeper control?

Gatekeepers? Bringing warders aboard the Internet to be gatekeepers? NO! No Warder boarding the Internet!

Great article which explains how to stop the communists in our government from using commissions and agencies from enforcing unconstitutional regulations.
