FCC Moves to Take Over Internet
DeMint bill would gut ‘activist’ FCC, prevent ‘Internet takeover’
Pledging to fight an “Internet takeover,” Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) announced on Thursday that he will introduce legislation to weaken the “activist bureaucracy” at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after the agency moved toward boosting its authority over broadband service providers at a morning meeting.
Blasting the FCC’s decision as a “power grab,” DeMint called for a neutered FCC governed by sun-sets on regulations and slowed by new standards for agency action.
“Obama’s FCC is now changing the rules to takeover and tax the Internet,” DeMint said, calling the commission’s latest move an example “of government agencies overstepping their bounds and creating their own laws without Congressional authority.”
This is a backdoor way to write net neutrality rules without a congressional mandate.
This must STOP! Flood the White House switchboard with calls and email inbox with your opinions and tell them we will NOT allow this to happen! If you lose the internet, you will lose all ability to counter the communist revolution that is currently undermining our constitutional republic.
