DON'T LET DICTATORS CONTROL THE INTERNET: KEEP THE WEB FREE
ACLJ ^ | April 1 2014 | ACLJ

Posted on 04/01/2014 10:03:22 AM PDT by MeshugeMikey

The Obama Administration is giving up American control over the Internet, handing over its most important technical functions to a “multinational” body – perhaps even the U.N.

But do we want Russia or China influencing whether we can create websites?

America has kept the Internet free. Don’t let our nation sign over our freedom to dictators.

This would be a permanent transfer of controlling power

Obama won’t be around forever.

The feds are as bad as all but the worst dictators.

The sheeple just aren't yet aware because we still have “other people's money” left to spend.

The Obama Administration is giving up American control over the Internet

And, for WHAT? What problem will this alleviate? What need will this address?

Don’t let our nation sign over our freedom to [foreign] dictators.

But they've done it already.
