Hello ACLU?? Where are you??

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Where are all the civil liberties groups and the ACLU at now?

When it looked like Iran was ready to have a revolution, I suggested that what was needed was a way to deploy wireless routers that could communicate with each other to form a self-organizing peer-to-peer network outside of the Mullah's control. Little did I know that we would need one too.

But, but... I thought it was ‘Evil Republicans’ that were the threat to our liberties? /s

[Marty62]

Since this outrage has been in the works since Spring...Where is the msm in alerting the public to this Fascist Bill.

OMG

This is an example of what’s sooooooo disturbing about these people. This is a huge piece of news- but there’s SO MUCH ELSE he’s got us looking at that this isn’t on the radar.

YET!

Define: emergency & threat

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

LOL!

And why does Sen Snowe ...a Republican ... sponsor this ....?

[This_far]

...and electronic health records

Kinda jumping the gun there aren't ya?

Further, nothing like pissing off the 'youngsters' who will love to hack any kind of blockade you try to impose.

Oh, they are also the voter base that got you elected.

Hey kids, you are welcome to join our side of reality (and we told ya so!)

Senator of Durbin is for taxing any purchases on the internet. In fact, why not tax garage sales too.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Hello ACLU?? Where are you??

Since the "antithesis" rather than the "thesis" is the target, they don't care.

Bill would give president emergency control of Internet.

This may be the "Reichstag Fire Enabling Act" of 2009

[Niteranger68]

I dare them to try it. It would be suicide..political and otherwise.

[hoosierham]

obama ,like all tyrants,wants total control over speech.

[Nosterrex]

This is a blatant attempt by the government to control all forms of communication. We aren't to know anything other than what the government tells us. If Obama stays in power much longer, the government will control talk radio and the Internet. They already control everything else.
