The republicans on this list need to hear from us!
Nuke the corrupt bastards to hell!!
The bill may be dead, but its spirit lives on through the FCC. They will do it behind our backs anyway.
The republicans behind this bill need to start looking for new jobs.
I thanked him for his hold.
Ironic that a Dem killed the bill (for now). But not surprising that the GOP members in the committee voted for it.
You lump Inhofe in there ?
Youtube is owned by Google, so no, a mainstream, corporate owned website will not be shut down.
But that isn’t really the point. The point is, the internet is not supposed to be controlled by anyone, let alone the gov’t acting in the service of the media companies.
And its dang sure not supposed to be controlled at the ISP level, by gov’t fiat! This is little different than the ‘Great Firewall of China’, and opens the door for that level of political control. IE, where places like Free Republic and pro lifers and even dissenters from the left, anything considered radical or controversial to the status quo gets shut down.
no one from MI, but surprise Herb Kohl D-WI. interesting he is up for relection in 2012. did you hear that Feingold will run against Kohl to gain a spot back as a sentor from Wisconsin in 2012? Defeat this bastard. Look at the republicans on the list. Hatch, Coburn, Inhofe, Graham (no surprise). keep these names in mind in your respective states dethrone Graham in his next run do not need a Log Cabin Republican(gay)
Nuke ‘em from orbit! (It’s the only way to be sure)
(Thank HEAVENS Voinovich will be gone in January!)
exactly!!!
Freeper Telephone assignment!!
The republicans listed are to be expected to be rino’s, but Inhofe surprised me, I didn’t know he was also one..
This bill has “Bipartisan” support because it is supported by a unique combination of communists and business interests. I am opposed to any “legal” approach to Internet governance.
Leave it alone, as it has been since its birth! Let the last “FREE” bastion thrive as it has. Do not screw it up!
Quite a surprise to see Coburn on that list. He doesn’t have major media in his State, so I simply cannot posit a rationale.

Go along to get along. Their principle concern is living well. Nothing more than this, save reelection.
Agree with you, but the free internet is a greater threat to tyranny than the printing press. Expect increasing pressure, as even the dullest political hacks and toadies figure this out.
