Obama seizes your Internet usage!


The Issue
A party-line vote has claimed the Internet for President Obama and his liberal cohorts and dealt a stunning blow to Free Speech in America.

This move no doubt fueled by the Tea Party successes, and a growing fear among liberals that conservatives needed to be silenced wasn’t widely reported. In fact, many are unsure as to what the new Net Neutrality rules actually mean. What is certain, however, is that in seizing the Internet Obama has also muzzled the greatest mechanism of growth in our history (under the guise of promoting "freedom" for all), and taken one giant step closer to controlling the unfettered access to news and information that we read.

The Action
Without the support of the American people and requiring no votes in Congress, the so-called Net Neutrality rules didn’t require any Congressional action.

Now with the federal government seizing control, Grassfire Nation is moving quickly to amass
at least 100,000 petitions demanding Congress to reverse the Net Neutrality ruling through legislation. As soon as the new Congress convenes (January 24), Grassfire Nation will present your petitions to key members of Congress and committees responsible for overseeing the Internet.

The Petition States: As a concerned citizen, I am signing this petition opposing the so-called "Net Neutrality" regulations being considered by the Federal Communications Commission, or similar legislation in Congress or the states. Net Neutrality imposes government control on the free market of the Internet and is yet another statist power grab.

The FCC does not have the authority to force such sweeping regulations on the free market. I strongly oppose this effort and urge the FCC to: a) keep government control out of the Internet, and, b) leave the legislating to Congress.

I also urge Congress to reverse through legislation any effort by the FCC or others to impose so-called "Net Neutrality".
