"Donald J. Trump is committed to preserving Internet freedom for the American people and citizens all over the world. The U.S. should not turn control of the Internet over to the United Nations and the international community. President Obama intends to do so on his own authority just 10 days from now, on October 1st, unless Congress acts quickly to stop him.
The Republicans in Congress are admirably leading a fight to save the Internet this week, and need all the help the American people can give them to be successful. Hillary Clintons Democrats are refusing to protect the American people by not protecting the Internet.
The U.S. created, developed and expanded the Internet across the globe. U.S. oversight has kept the Internet free and open without government censorship a fundamental American value rooted in our Constitutions Free Speech clause. Internet freedom is now at risk with the Presidents intent to cede control to international interests, including countries like China and Russia, which have a long track record of trying to impose online censorship. Congress needs to act, or Internet freedom will be lost for good, since there will be no way to make it great again once it is lost."
- Stephen Miller, National Policy Director
Oops... yes, no coffee and a sinus headache! My bad!
Sen. Grassley has been raising the alarm about internet control since the ICANN handover was announced a few years ago. A handful of pols can only do so much by themselves.
Are you sure about that? I doubt it.
Try looking here.
Yes only a handful ever do anything.
Quoting you here:
I talked to HR5418 Sponsor Congressman Sean Duffy R-WI yesterday...
The vote will be this week or first of next week. THIS ACTUALLY IS THE PERFECT TIME TO CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT HR5418, and Call SENATORS TO SUPPORT SB3034.

[God bless you!]
I’ll say God bless you, too, for your hard work on this issue. I have spoken to Duffy’s office this morning and they emailed a press release that I will share later.
Thanks for posting this.
This is the kind of president we need, who puts the country first.
Actually congress had successfully defunded this twice over the past two years. But this year ICANN had better consultants and lobbyists.
— And Obama simply broke the law to push on.
I called for impeachment earlier, but there wasn’t enough public awareness.
God bless Donald Trump!
He keeps pleasantly surprising me.
With such low public awareness even talk radio doesn’t cover this issue.
I hope I’m wrong about the typical Facebook drone, but they seem to support their censorship rules.
Mitch McConnell has announced full funding for everything through 2017. At this point its likely a lost cause.
I’m with Trump on this.

Yes, the Turtle (or Turkey as some call him) McConnell is now the turd in the punch bowl :( I called his office and informed them I wanted 3034 to be considered!
On a more encouraging note, my elected “representatives” are getting some calls and one is considering a co-sponsorship...There is a lot of noise out there. I think Trump’s comments today helping to bring some attention to the issue!
This ought to get even more millenials on Trumps’s side.
God bless the Eagle Forum!
And thank you so much for the head’s up. Heartening to know they are contracting congress and networking on this.

New wrinkle with Mitch McConnell...
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article103433852.html
Did not see Eagle Forum email, but I hope they mention about insisting that The Protection of Internet Freedom Act legislation be included in the Continuing Resolution as Mitch McConnell wants a “Clean” Continuing Resolution which does not seem to include any language about SB3034. (see McClatchy article above)
However, I think pressure can be brought on this from Senators contacted by constituents—it is an election year...
...I have been emailing articles to various folks, so hopefully word is getting out.
Thank you for all you do!
One thing to consider though.
Trump did not wait for Cruz to endorse him.
Another example — Trump is the bigger man and more presidential.
