Don't Be Fooled Again

FDR Created the FCC
The Telecommunications Act of 1934 created the Federal Communications Comission (FCC). This government department was allegidly created to oversee radio frequencies and bandwidths for radio broadcasting. Nowadays the FCC tries to "regulate" everything they can get their BIG GOVERNMENT hands on - including the Internet.

The FCC IS Unconstitutional
It's true. The Federal Communications Comission is inherently unconstitutional. How can this be? Think about it. The FCC regulates CONTENT of all radio and network broadcasting in the USA. It tells broadcasters (including radio, TV, and ham radio) what they can - and CANNOT say on the airwaves. It limits spoken words.

The FCC tried to re-classify the Internet under Title 2 of the Telecommunications Act and were rejected by the courts. Next they tried the same under Title 1. NADA! Congressman Markey (D, MA) tried to get the Net Neutrality bill going in Congress, but only got 27 co-sponsors. So it failed in Congress. Nevertheless the FCC continues to ignore the law and keep trying to grab power - at YOUR expense.

What About the 1st Amendment?
Doesn't the 1st Amendment guarantee the right to free speech? Yes it does! So why do we have a government agency like the FCC overseeing the distribution of speech over the airwaves? The FCC regulates the content on broadcast networks. THAT'S unconstitutional because that's a form of censorship! It's MARXIST to "regulate" radio and TV content.

They're Lying
Don't believe the government when they say that they are trying to "protect you." Look at how well that is working out with the TSA thing at privately owned airports. The FCC claims that they are trying to protect us from Internet Service Providers (ISPs). They want to force them to treat all Internet content "equally." This is the Fairness Doctrine re-emposed on us only now over the Internet!

Net Neutrality Regulation
Net neutrality is a euphemism for the "Fairness Doctrine." It's just another BIG Government grab for more power and control over YOUR lives. Progressives in this administration want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Recall this was the "regulation" that required equal time for oposing views. If you had a speaker on the Right for 15 minutes, you had to have a speaker on the Left for 15 minues to "balance" your broadcast. Now if your blog is anti-administration, you have to place links to pro-administration blogs on YOUR website!

December 21, 2010
The FCC is not deterred by common sense, the judicial system, or by Congress because they want MORE power. Whether you like it or not and whether it's legal or not, the FCC is moving forward to implement it's Internet control on 12/21/2010. At that point they are injecting themselves into the Internet. Before you place Internet content, you first need to come to the FCC and get their approval of YOUR content.

Do you get it now? CENSORSHIP!!!

A Ray of Hope
We need to tell the FCC loud and clear to "Keep YOUR Grubby Hands Off the Internet and Free Speech." There IS a 1st Amendment and you can's steal it!

Fortunately, Representative Marsh Blackburn (R, TN) is preparing HR Bill 3924 which prohibits the FCC from taking these ILLEGAL actions. Support this legislation and Ms. Blackburn.
