D-DAY for US Internet

Tell the government (FCC & Congress), 'Hands off the Internet!'
What did our troops fight and die for again?

There's more propaganda swirling about pending changes to Internet laws and regulations in the USA than there is swirling around US / NATO / Western interference in Ukraine.

Are you confused yet regarding the war on the Internet being waged in Washington, D.C.? Who are the good guys? Who's wearing the white hats? Is it FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler wanting to base new Net Neutrality rules on Title II of the Communications Act? Or is it Sen. John Thune and Rep. Fred Upton pushing their new regulations of the Internet called, 'Title X?'

Who owns Congress? Who owns the Executive White House? Who do we believe? The Wall Street Journal? USA Today? The UK's Daily Caller? Do we trust the FCC and Congress? Or do we listen to Save the Internet that has been fighting for a free and open Internet for over a decade? Has Save the Internet been taken over, or is it once again telling us the truth?

One thing is certain. Nothing good comes from secrecy in government. We need to see all bills and all pending rules and regulations before making our decision. So Congress and the FCC need to disclose everything and allow a public review before any changes are made.

What's the hurry? Is the US under military attack?
There's confusion and secrecy here.
A 60 day cooling off period is the smart thing to do.


Read all sides then make your decision, but remember, these are laws and rules and regulations -- not immutable laws of physics. Any decree can be repealed. Even ObamaCare. Even open borders and 'free' trade -- as long as we care and are unafraid to act.

Laws, rules and regulations are not immutable laws of physics. Government can repeal any law, rule and regulation to return America back to its constitutional form of government. The problem is, there is no party that represents the constitutional America of the past. BOTH major parties are on board with the agenda of those political and economic forces that control the American government.

The American people, the American spirit has been diluted to the point that there is no possibility that the American people are going to wake up and demand change. We are in new territory as Americans. We are in a time of not just asymmetrical warfare, but asymmetrical everything.

Draw your family and loved ones close. Keep working. Keep thinking. Keep learning. Keep the lights on and food on the table while humanity sorts this out. Keep the faith.
Here's one thing you can do right now.
See if Congress will listen to you. This is their D-Day too.


"In May 2014, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler released a plan that would have allowed companies like AT& T, Comcast and Verizon to discriminate online and create pay-to-play fast lanes.

"Millions of you spoke out — and fought back.

"Thanks to the huge public and political outcry, Wheeler shelved his original proposal, and on Feb. 4, 2015, he announced that he will base new Net Neutrality rules on Title II of the Communications Act, giving Internet users the strongest protections possible.

"The FCC will vote on Wheeler's proposal at its Feb. 26 meeting . If all goes well, it will be a watershed victory for activists who have fought for a decade to protect the open Internet."

"Tell Congress: Oppose Title X --- Save Net Neutrality

"With the FCC so close to finally passing real Net Neutrality rules, things are getting ugly in Congress.

"Sen. John Thune and Rep. Fred Upton are pushing fake Net Neutrality legislation — dubbed "Title X" — and it's a loophole-ridden disaster.

"While the Thune-Upton bill is disguised as Net Neutrality legislation, it would actually just protect the phone and cable broadband duopoly from oversight. It legalizes a lot of harmful discriminatory practices by preventing the FCC from moving on its own to adopt and enforce rules.

"This proposed legislation needs to be exposed for what it is: a cynical cable-lobby effort to prevent the FCC from enforcing the law to keep the Internet open and nondiscriminatory.

"Let's stop this bill before it starts — call Congress now."
