If Obama has his way, internet freedom will be eradicated and all communication will be overseen by his administration and eventually the government.
I received an email from Ben Sasse about the current situation regarding the Internet and Obama's desire to regulate it to his advantage. Below is my take on the letter and a link where you can sign a petition to have the FCC hear your opinion.
In Turkey, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had similar goals: "We now have a court order. We will eradicate Twitter; I don't care what the international community says. Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic."
Obama and Erdogan have company. In 2009, Iran began a crackdown on the Internet and China has been doing it for years. Last year, Russia forced Facebook to remove content that was critical of Vladimir Putin, so you might be seeing a pattern here.
Last November, President Obama called upon the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to classify the Internet as a public utility, which by doing so, would put the government in the position of having the jurisdiction to police it.
Now that's Orwellian.
We certainly don't need the government to have regulatory power over the Internet and with Obama as president, it could only work to the advantage of the far left and perhaps a certain religious group.
The worst part is that it's all happening too fast, and Obama is trying to bypass Congress and push this regulation through before the public gets to hear the debate.
Now that's Pelosian.
Free speech and expression are far too important to allow a leftist like Obama to regulate them. The FCC will be voting on this issue February 26th. If this matters to you, go here to sign the petition to stop Obama.
If you don't, you probably will not be able to read my blog or others that take an opposing point of view from the powers that be. And Twitter? Forget about it.
