Man, what took y'all so long? Stayed in Worship-Mode for six long years. Not a peep out of ya. Now it may be too late to stop Big Brother's massive Power-Grab. Shoulda stood up earlier.


FCC Chair Refuses to Testify before Congress ahead of Net Neutrality Vote

Two prominent House committee chairs are “deeply disappointed” in Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler for refusing to testify before Congress as “the future of the Internet is at stake.”

Wheeler’s refusal to go before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday comes on the eve of the FCC’s vote on new Internet regulations pertaining to net neutrality. The committee’s chairman, Representative Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), and Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Fred Upton (R., Mich.) criticized Wheeler and the administration for lacking transparency on the issue.

“So long as the chairman continues to insist on secrecy, we will continue calling for more transparency and accountability at the commission,” Chaffetz and Upton said in a statement. “Chairman Wheeler and the FCC are not above Congress.”

Dear FCC: Rethink The Vague "General Conduct" Rule

For many months, EFF has been working with a broad coalition of advocates to persuade the Federal Communications Commission to adopt new Open Internet rules that would survive legal scrutiny and actually help protect the Open Internet.

"The vote on the new Internet regulations is scheduled for Thursday. The FCC’s two Republican commissioners have asked Wheeler to delay the vote to allow more time for review. The changes would allow the commission to regulate the Internet like a public utility, setting new standards that require the provision of equal access to all online content."

Far too many on the Left stayed silent on awful Government Power-Grabs like 24/7 NSA spying, Rampant IRS abuses, Numerous Interventions/Wars, and now this Internet Takeover.

The Left has failed miserably at being a so-called defenders of Civil Liberties. They've been complicit in this massive Big Brother Power-Grab. They've gone all-in on Big Government Totalitarianism. Shame on em.

Nope, but you might want to look up the opinion that shut down you dear leaders executive action on immigration or google the Government Administrative Procedures Act of 1946. It says government agencies cannot make rules in secret and must provide for public participation in the rule making process. Reading is fundamental.

Why do you insist on telling such outrageous lies that are so easily disproved? The FCC refuses to even release the proposed rules prior to to voting on them, evidently even to congress.

I read your link, these are the rules from FIVE FUCKING YEARS AGO!

It clearly states;

Adopted: December 21, 2010
Released
: December 23, 2010

These are the rules we HAVE BEEN operating under. This is the old regulatory regime.

When the EFF, a completely NON-PARTISAN citizens group is leery about the actions of government in this realm, then you KNOW the government is probably acting with malicious and tyrannical intent.
