Breitbart ^ | February 4, 2015 | UPI

That’s what I was afraid of; another exercise in systematically gouging pockets and smothering voices. Little net benefit to the consumer, other than continued access at the ‘benevolence’ of the World Government.

[Jim Robinson]

The power to regulate is the power to destroy.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I had an idea to bounce around on FREE REPUBLIC. How about the GOP passes legislation thru both the House and Senate and say its something OBAMA has said he would veto. Well don’t send it to him. Say its an EXECUTIVE ACT OF CONGRESS. When WH says thats not on Consitution say well neither are most of your EO’s...force a court fight over it since they seem to spineless to impeach or even charge him with sedtion for obviously being on the side of the jihadists who are our enemies.

Yes thats fine for you but some of us like the unbiased info we get from the WWW and that will end

[Biggirl]

.....Or Walker/Cruz 2016.

[plain talk]

I rather doubt that Doug. You use the internet to get to Free Republic. :-)

[Biggirl]

Look for this to land up in the fed courts.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

In my view they do not want us to be able to keep informed or in touch. They want to control all info the public sees. Not long now till the round ups.

[StoneWall Brigade]

The Republican leadership could do something about this but I won’t hold my breath.

[Iron Munro]

I sense that there will be a number of ways to Tax....this Utility....

The only reason these scumbags do anything at all is to get their hands on more money, to seize more power, or both.

[cowboyusa]

They are doing this because they know that the TPP treaty will regulate the Internet here and around the world. The Corporatist NWO plan is accelerating.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

"Not long now till the round ups."

Yep. Step by step the noose is tightening. The Internet helps keep people informed of that noose, hence the tightening of said noose.

[MeshugeMikey]

there will be direct User taxation, provider taxation,....Data Transmission Tax....

the list will be mind boggling.

[Mouton]

Here is my simple answer to a complex question you raise:

If Obama is in favor of it, I am against it. I don’t need any discussion. This POS is the anti anything I believe in.

[RedMDer]

DEFUND IT!

[Jim Robinson]

Amen.

[TADSLOS]

A pen, a phone and a keyboard. Welcome to Obamaland.

[Diogenesis]

[Maine Mariner]

That is an excellent ticket. It would energize the base
and tick off the GOPe and MSM which is also excellent!

[VanDeKoik]

And to think how many Freepers advocated for this!

Bunch of dumb $#@%^$%.

The FCC will give every level of government the door to wring the internet dry of every cent they couldn’t get their hands on!
