Time is running out, very quickly.
Last September Obama signed over control of all Internet Domain Name registrations to the United Nations.
Now he wants to impose "Net-Neutrality and complete regulations over the Internet.
"President Obama And The Federal Communications Commission Are Going To Take Over The Internet On February 26th If We Don't Do Everything We Can Do To Stop Them Right Now." -Senator Rand Paul
We wish we could tell you that Senator Paul is exaggerating... but we can't. To quote political pundit Dick Morris: Obama will "do something that all of the despots in the world have tried to do but failed to do and he's going to do it by executive action."
And we wish we could tell you what is in the 332-page document that outlines exactly how Barack Obama's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is going to go about taking over your Internet... but we can't... because Obama's FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is keeping that document under lock and key. No... Really... The public is not allowed to even see the document.
There is no time to waste... In a matter of days, the FCC will vote on the implementation of this master plan, even though no one will have seen it, unless we do everything in our power to stop it now.
************************************************************************************
Don't Worry: If You Like Your Internet, You Can Keep Your Internet.
Chairman Wheeler would only release a four-page summary of the plan. Under the guise of something dubiously called "net neutrality," Barack Obama's FCC is promising to use its heavy hand to "regulate" the Internet so that its use is "fair."
We're being told not to worry... nothing in the secret 332-page plan should be a cause for alarm and if you like your Internet, you can keep your Internet.
Fortunately, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has actually seen the 332-page edict and we'll let his warning speak for itself:
First, President Obama's plan marks a monumental shift toward government control of the Internet. It gives the FCC the power to micromanage virtually every aspect of how the Internet works. It's an overreach that will let a Washington bureaucracy, and not the American people, decide the future of the online world.
Second, President Obama's plan to regulate the Internet will increase consumers' monthly broadband bills. The plan explicitly opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes on broadband. Indeed, states have already begun discussions on how they will spend the extra money.
Third, President Obama's plan to regulate the Internet will mean slower broadband for American consumers. The plan contains a host of new regulations that will reduce investment in broadband networks. That means slower Internet speeds.
Fourth, President Obama's plan to regulate the Internet will hurt competition and innovation and move us toward a broadband monopoly. The plan saddles small, independent businesses and entrepreneurs with heavy-handed regulations that will push them out of the market. As a result, Americans will have fewer broadband choices. This is no accident. Title II was designed to regulate a monopoly. If we impose that model on a vibrant broadband marketplace, a highly regulated monopoly is what we'll get. We shouldn't bring Ma Bell back to life in this dynamic, digital age.
Fifth, President Obama's plan to regulate the Internet is an unlawful power grab. Courts have twice thrown out the FCC's attempts at Internet regulation. There's no reason to think that the third time will be the charm. Even a cursory look at the plan reveals glaring legal flaws that are sure to mire the agency in the muck of litigation for a long, long time.
And sixth, the American people are being misled about what is in President Obama's plan to regulate the Internet. The rollout earlier in the week was obviously intended to downplay the plan's massive intrusion into the Internet economy.
You read that right. New taxes... Less choice... Slower Internet speeds... and that's just for starters, because once the federal government has control over the Internet, it's just a small hop, skip and jump from the government regulating what you can say or do while you're online.
