A couple of days ago, the Obama Administration submitted a bill proposal to an executive office which would give Obama (or any president) the power to shut down the internet in a time of need.
I really can't think of any situation where the internet would need to be completely shut down. I understand that sometimes in times of war, freedom of speech is limited and the president has the power to declare that, but by shutting down the internet, you are limiting all speech.
Not only would you be limiting speech, but you would be limiting education.
It makes you think... how would Big Brother have limited free though in a time with internet? It would be impossible to have them coexist. It is the same reason why Communist China censors almost all internet activity. I remember a friend I knew when there for the olympics and she couldn't even write God in an email to me. she had to speak in code.
Is that what is next for America? Things come in small portion, but soon we will lose our freedoms completely and we won't even know it happened until its gone. And I haven't even talked about what happened at the G20 this week. We are losing our sovereignty. And we are just letting it happen.
We don't have the numbers in congress, but the grassroots are growing. It is time for you to find a place and speak out against the terrible events.
