In your post to me, you made accusations that were without basis. In your post before his one you did it again.
You stop. You started it and continued it.

Roll Call Vote Detail On CR Funding Bill With NO 1st Amendment Protection #ICANN
This shows Republicans voting FOR it, and Democrats voted against it. I don’t understand this.
IE Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson said Yea, and Tammy Baldiwin Nay
I don’t know for certain.
I am guessing the Dems did not vote for it because they did not get their pork added in...GOP that voted against it did so because it did not have the Protecting Internet Freedom Act language...Perhaps someone with “tools” can interpret it better than I ...I do note that the second listing has Cruz, Sessions and the other SB3034 Bill co-sponsors as voting no. I just am not sure why there are 2 lists.
When I called McConnell and Cruz offices today, they both said the bill voted on today contained no Protecting Internet Freedom Act provisions.
Perhaps I or someone can get thru to Cruz office for a clarification—they seem very receptive to people trying to help push the bill thru.
So Johnson voted the GOP Uniparty company line? and Baldwin voted no because no pork?
I think there will be something we can do, although it would be a huge effort. Trump could wall off the US internet and have ours inside and their oppressive internet regime outside. We could port connections to just allies, like England. The internet would never be the same but we could have freedom in our corner of the internet world. It would be a tremendous effort but it may have to be done.
However, given the current state of media news reporting, I find myself reading more and more foreign publications to get the lowdown on what is really going on :(
Roll Call Vote Detail On CR Funding Bill With NO 1st Amendment Protection #ICANN

It’s just the Dems forcing Ryan and GOP Congress to carry Obama’s water. Force Republicans to take tough votes, etc.
It’s over. ICANN is not in the CR and word is there will be no more bills. It will expire in its current form. Bottom line is Ryan & McConnell sold us out to K Street lobbyists. Again.
Who told you no more bills...
UPDATE FOR TODAY:
UPDATE (Which is constantly changing.):
MCCONNELL (SHALL I SAY TURTLE TRAITOR OR TRAITOR TURTLE—EH WHICHEVER) DID NOT INCLUDE SB3034 IN THE BILL VOTED ON TODAY—HIS OFFICE IS BLAMING THE DEMOCRATS FOR LOADING PORK...I WAS NOT HAPPY AND REFLECTED SUCH WITH MY COMMENT. PHONE GIRL EVEN GOT SNIPPY W/ME BUT IF WE STILL HAVE THE MAJORITY THEN WE CAN VOTE FOR IT...GAFFNEY ARTICLE SUGGESTS THAT WE PRESSURE DEMOCRATS—EVEN HILLARY TO GET OBAMA TO NOT VETO. As I have said, would he veto with his precious Zika funding (slush fund) that he has been whining for?
FROM TALKING TO CRUZ AND DUFFY’S OFFICES GOING FORWARD FOR NOW (could change), THE BEST BET IS:
1. CALL LOCAL HOUSE MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL, I REPEAT ALL, UP FOR REELECTION (so they might actually care more) AND THE HOUSE STILL HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT HR5418 INTO THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION...HOUSE MEMBERS NEED TO SUPPORT THE HR5418 AND CO-SPONSOR THE RESOLUTION...Then hopefully get a floor vote on Friday. I asked Cruz office what happens if no Floor vote on CR, and he did not know...
2. CONTACT SENATE LEADERSHIP (MCCONNELL OR CORNYN AND SATELLITE OFFICES MAY WORK BETTER) TO SUPPORT SB3034.
SOME GOOD NEWS IN THE HOUSE-—DUFFY NOW HAS 46 CO-SPONSORS. CONGRESSMAN DUFFY’S OFFICE SAID FOR FOLKS TO ASK CONGRESS REPS TO CO-SPONSOR THE BILL HR5418 AND VOTE YES...I CALLED MINE AND HE SAID HE WAS CONSIDERING IT—PROBABLY SAYING THAT BECAUSE HE IS UP FOR RE-ELECTION BECAUSE HE NEVER EVER HAS A POSITION PRIOR TO A VOTE...ONE OF MY PET PEEVES.
DUFFY OFFICE SAID IT WOULD HELP IF DEMOCRATS COULD PUT PRESSURE ON OBAMA TO SIGN THE BILL WITH 5418 PROTECTING INTERNET FREEDOM ACT PROVISIONS...~ Eh I don’t know why Obama would veto bill with precious Zika funding in it anyway, but that is a concern. DUFFY BELIEVES BEST WAY TO GET HOUSE VOTE IS THRU LOTS OF CO-SPONSORS...BUT THEY DON’T SEEM TO BELIEVE GOP HOUSE LEADERSHIP IS AGAINST IT...
CRUZ OFFICE SAID THAT MCCONNELL DID NOT PUT PROTECTING INTERNET FREEDOM ACT INTO THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION...BUT HOUSE STILL CAN AND THEN HOPEFULLY A FLOOR VOTE ON FRI.
CALLED MCCONNELL’S OFFICE TODAY AND HE IS BLAMING THE DEMOCRATS...THEY WANT TO LOAD UP PORK...IMHO I THINK HE IS RESPONSIBLE AND HE NEEDS TO BE PRESSED TOO...
They couldn’t care less what I think.
For a couple years, c. 2001, I had a "free" fax service at my business. I was limited to 6 per day. At the time I spent a couple hours a day reading the Congressional Record and the Federal Registry - Evelyn Wood style. If I found something interesting I would compose a letter, i.e.,
Dear congress critter,I noticed your introduction of H. B. ###, read your speech, etc., and find myself in agreement, etc., etc., and so forth. Please consider adding XYZ if possible.
Best regards,
kitchen
flyover country
phone number
This went to the sponsor/speaker and copied to the pubbie leaders and my congressman and two senators. Six per day, four or five times a week, for a good year and a half. Conservatively, I estimate well over 2,000 faxes. I never received a response.
Not.
One.
Letters sent to congressman and 2 ohio senators. Done
Thank you!
I’ve seen them turn off their fax machines and main phone numbers, so with your input and what I have observed, it’s a total waste of time.
Sad really.
I want to respect this nation, and they are purposefully doing their best to make it so I can’t.
Or worst!
Who told you no more bills...
No more House bills. That’s the Senate. And it needs a veto over ride. Chance of that happening? Nil. ICANN needed to be in a must pass bill like the CR. It’s over. Unfortunately.
-----------
McConnell & Ryan are playing hot potato. Same old beltway scam. They are scum.
Chad PergramVerified account @ChadPergram Hse officially advises lawmakers Hse will pass CR tonight & have no more votes Thurs or Fri
Pergram is a Capitol Hill nerd type reporter. I think he does some work for Fox News. Solid just the facts reporter.
Did you notice the CR is until the lame duck, December 9? The beltway GOP and the kenyan plan on raping us one more time then. Unbelievable.

Based on what I have read tonite on Drudge, we are in a world of trouble then...As I posted elsewhere, the weasels pass these boondoggles and then future generation will feel the pain.
They slipped this internet take over in under the radar during the election. Ryan & McConnell are in on this. 100%, no doubt.
Our “leaders” are criminals. There is no limit to what these Free - America haters will do...nothing

I see on twitter that one of Ryan’s top aides is off to a VP slot at Duberstein’s lobbying firm. I’m sure they are all at a restaurant now partying it up. Yuk, yuk. Joke is on us.
I went on Twitter...It looks like it is done if he is correct and legit...
Wow real bummer...
