Citizen Petition:
Oppose the Fed Takeover of the Internet
Petition Sponsor: Grassfire Nation
Total signers: 149,442
The Issue
President Obama and his liberal cohorts are set to
takeover the Internet beginning November 20, adding yet another troubling
chapter to his illegal assault on Free Speech in America.
On November 10, the democrat-controlled Senate voted 46-52 to retain the Federal
Communications Commission’s (FCC) power grab through strict Net Neutrality
regulations set to illegally impose strict, job-killing restrictions on the
Internet beginning on November 20, 2011. Through this move, the Obama
administration has also muzzled the greatest mechanism of growth in our history
(under the guise of promoting "freedom" for all), and taken one giant step
closer to controlling the unfettered access to news and information that we
read.
Many believe the move was fueled, in part to Tea Party successes, and a growing
fear among liberals that conservatives needed to be silenced.
The Action
This unconstitutional power grab must be opposed. Grassfire
Nation is calling on grassroots Americans mobilizing at least
200,000 citizen petitions opposing this last assault on our
freedom through Net Neutrality regulations.
