Obama wants to shut down the internet?

From an e-mail via Campaign for Liberty...

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) recently introduced S. 773, "The Cybersecurity Act of 2009."
Initial cosponsors include Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN), Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME).


You see, Barack Obama is seeking sweeping new powers to "shut down" all private internet in the event of a "cybersecurity emergency" — a vague term that the President can define at his discretion.
And Rockefeller's bill gives Barack Obama just what he wants.
That's why this expansive new power grab should really be called "The Internet Takeover Bill."
As you know, the Internet has developed into an independent sphere where 1st Amendment Rights can still be (fairly) freely exercised.
It's also become an important outlet for liberty-minded speech, cutting around the Obama-worship and corporate censorship of the mainstream media.
And we've already seen the Obama Administration's reaction to any online speech they deem "fishy."
In July, the Administration called upon Americans to report their friends' and neighbors' emails to help Barack Obama silence the "disinformation" about the Obamacare bills in Congress.
Well, now Barack Obama wants to cut out the middle man.
If the Internet Takeover Bill passes, Barack Obama can silence his dissenters directly — by ordering a shutdown of all Americans' access to the Internet.
That's right. Under this bill Barack Obama can order all non-government U.S. networks to shut down access to the Internet.

But that's not all.

Even outside of periods of White House-declared "emergency," this bill mandates that private-sector networks only be managed by government-licensed "cybersecurity professionals."
If you think dealing with your office IT department is bad now, just wait until they're federally-licensed bureaucrats.
And God forbid you like to visit websites that spread "fishy disinformation" like freemarket healthcare solutions: Passing socialized medicine could soon become enough of an "emergency" for Barack Obama to shut them down.
You know, for the public good.

I personaly urge any of you reading this, that we all let our Reps know that we know this is trying to get sneaked through, and that we all strongly oppose it.

Until next time.....
