Yeah - that worked so well with the EPA....
As much as I admire Demint, if ya can’t deliver, it’s just a stunt....
Good for Senator DeMint, but it’ll go nowhere. It’s just a campaign ploy. Meat for his conservative supporters.
But still, it’s more effort than most of the (R)s are putting forth.
=====================================
THOUGH I think it would take a tremendous amount of FREEPER and other grass roots support to get this passed.
The mere existence of the FCC is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating communications as an enumerated power! It must be abolished!
DeMint’s da man!!!!!!!!
I’ve always had this scene in my mind. The government calls the early radio entrepreneurs into a Federal office.
“We wanted to talk to you fellows about this invention of yours. How you can talk over those wave things in the air.”
One of the entrepreneur responds, “You mean radio waves.”
“Right. Those ‘radio’ wave things. Very clever of you. That’s what we need to talk to you about.”
“What about them?”
The Fed responds, “Well, you need to understand that WE own those wave things. We always have. You need to beg permission from us to use OUR radie waves. Now, here’s what it’s going to cost you to continue using OUR wave things.”
I don’t believe funding to the FCC should be cut. In fact, it should be increased to build a new sub-headquarters on the North Slope of Alaska. Little or no heating... these people are environmentalists, after all. Send all the regulators up where they can do no harm!
