Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

This is not kosher! John McCain must hear from Freepers and all other concerned with free speech.

Home of the free, whose free, just those damm politicians who try to make laws to justify their own actions so as they can go around the law to screw the american people out of their being free. Politicians like McCain really sucks!
To: Jim Robinson
Didn't he try something like this in 2004-2005, a measure to regulate or censure the content on the Blogosphere ?
To: marc costanzo
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling McCain doesn't care much for the Bill of Rights.
To: Jim Robinson
He will say otherwise of course !

They can have my computer and stop my ability to speak or type freely, when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
McCain is running afoul of right (proper) thinking Americans of all stripes.

Oh, as if people are actually going to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, everybody, back to the pleasant slumber of "we'll take it again lying down".

The America we once knew is gone already haven't you seen the socialists pigs out in the streets of our country waving mexican flags and pounding their fists at all of us and threatening our govt to not pass the bill Senate passed against illegals?

Spend those 30 days stocking up on your ammo, folks, you might need it sooner than you think. Just the idea that the powers that be think they could get away with this travesty is proof enough for me that it is quickly nearing that time
