You're Right, Good-bye, Constitution, that is unless we stop the socialist politicians in their tracks and vote them out of office!! There's power in unity, it's time Americans to unite. The self-serving politicians who praise Chavez and Castro have got to go!!

This bill is so vague a *cyber emergency* could be just about anything. Our access to the internet will be entirely controlled by the White House!!
Who are these control-freaks in Congress?

Why don't you worry about those coming into our nation and kidnapping our own for ransom! How about figuring out a way to bring all those jobs that went overseas back home so AMERICANS stop losing theirs homes from lack of work. How about you stopping the oil companies from raising the stinking gas prices and making millions off those of us who are already struggling to survive? Why don't you people do some real work and actually earn those ridiculous paycheck we pay you for once and leave our rights alone!

I'd like to introduce you to a little document titled the U.S. Constitution, otherwise known as the supreme law of our land. Just copy and paste this link:

Pay particular attention to Article I Section 8, there are only 20 enumerated powers granted to Congress. Accessing, controlling and regulating communications among the people is NOT one of them.
Affirming this we have the First Amendment, which clearly states that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. The Supreme Court has not only reaffirmed this [repeatedly] but has also interpreted it as applying to the executive branch as well.

Our military tried to limit access during desert storm without success. This is why it's called a WEB. Security is a major issue for any Internet user. Shutting down your communication is as easy as turning off your account. Then you'll go to the liberary and use that computer. To shut a group of like thinking individuals off would require ahutting down the WWWeb.

Alisa -- Please find the book 'The Law' by Frederic Bastiat. Even this Frenchman knew much more about keeping our U.S. Constitutional protections then you seem to.

October 28, 2009, 8:41am (report abuse)Look at who introduced the bill, his family has been in the illuminati since the beginning. This is all about restricting information flow. This isn't about democrat or republican because they are the same behind closed doors. The two parties are just a way to divide the people. I am quite alarmed at how fast they are moving in the past 10 years though. The internet is the last big obstacle that they need to crush before they can completely control us. My theory is that their whole purpose in the end is to prepare the world for the anti-Christ or as the muslims call him, Dahjal. Get your souls and guns ready because the last days are near.
