Spred the word and disseminate this information Everywhere! It is not being reported well in mainstream media If at all !!!. Also please cross post this blog on -- your blogs, Facebook, Twitter , and all of your contacts. Cross-post and blog this information everywhere!
With knowledge comes power and with that power comes control and a responsibility to make this country great again!
You can choose to be a dimwitted and mindless sheep by listen to the GOP and there big business puppet masters, constant lies and propaganda over on Fox news, or you can make the intelligent choice by making yourself aware of the facts and agendas of our so called leaders, Democrat and Republican alike..... it's simple really if your congressman looks out for big business over the interests of average working man or woman, then it's time to kick them to the curb!
No more millionaire blue blood royalty controlling congress year after year, No more Unlimited campaign backing by big business leading to corrupt corporate control of our elected officials, " and i use that term loosely " No more rich getting richer off the backs of the poor and middle class well simultaneously bankrupting our country, No more lobbyist influences in congress!!
Behind every great fortune, there's a greater heist! It's the rich that run this country and have driven it into the ground! We now have two needless war's and an unimaginable amount of tax payer money wasted not to mention the ten's of thousands of lives lost, both solder and civilian! All of this unnecessary pain and suffering based off of the lies told by The Bush Administration! The same lies that continue to be embraced by far to many members of congress, primarily the GOP, though there are fools on both sides!
Make no mistake you are nothing to them but a potential voter, someone to lie too come the next election, you are nothing but a number in the ballot !
Congress vote themselves a pay raise " ON THE TAX PAYER'S DIME " while at the same time denying an increase on living wages for people on social security or disability, ( money that they have payed into there entire working lives) Then try to lower minimum wage and increase the retirement age, Let them live on minimum wage and actually work for a living for a year and see how fun it is!! unfortunately that will never happen!
The rich get richer and the poor suffer! The rich start wars and the poor die!
When they want you to buy something they'll tell you, when they want you to say something they'll let you know, and when they want you to die in there next war they'll come and get you!!
Be an individual, make your own decisions, and create a better future for the next generation.
It's time to take back control of our country and make it the way it was always meant to be!!!......( A country by the People, for the People, and of the People, )
No more buying an Election!!! No more corporate Manipulation!!
Make them accountable for there actions!!!
It's your choice!
Spread the word!

The Internet
Internet rights!A free and open internet is the only way to go, internet equality should apply to all forms of access landlines and wireless, The Internet belongs to everyone, not just large corporations!
The rights of the people should take precedent over the greed of corporations and special interests. big telecoms would like nothing more then to inspect and filter the Internet content we access, block web sites and applications they don't like, and overcharge us even more so then the already do for using the internet.
Net neutrality opponents inaccurately claim that strong rules will impede competition by regulating the Internet for the first time. This is completely untrue. Net neutrality simply protect the rights of the people and the free Internet that Americans have always enjoyed.
The internet should be reclassified as a title 2 utility and fully enforced by the FCC net neutrality already has the backing of the president, congressional leadership, " the one's with common scenes anyway " and most importantly, millions and millions of Internet users through out the country!
We as paying costumers and free thinking individuals should have the right to decide what we watch read or post online, and when we do it!
Not the ISP's....keep in mind that without the use of public land to lay there cables and build there tower's company's such as AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would not exist, or at the very least they would not enjoy the kind of power and profit they have today, all at the peoples expense!
It's time the politicians start siding with the voter's the one's that put them into office in the first place! instead of the lobbyists and spacial interest groups, who are only interested in the bottom line!
Many network providers have tried to engage in content and user discrimination in the recent past and that will only grow without strong Net Neutrality or with weakened partial Net Neutrality, as Chairman Genachowski in visions. A few examples, ( Time Warner's AOL ) blocked all emails that mentioned www.dearaol.com, an advocacy campaign opposing AOL's pay-to-send e-mail scheme, a pathetic ploy to garner even more hard earned money from the consumers! BellSouth blocked access to Myspace.com in Tennessee and Florida. Verizon Wireless has blocked access to PayPal in favor of its own competing online payment service for shopping sites like eBay.
Without FCC authority to fully enforce stronger net neutrality rules, we may be forced to rely on the good judgment "or lack there of " of large corporations to protect our access to the internet and the diversity of political, social, environmental, and international interaction and perspectives it now offer's.
We would be forced to trust companies like Comcast, which actively
and secretly interfered with users' ability to access popular video, photo
and music sharing applications; AT&T, which censored anti-Bush comments made by Pearl Jam's lead singer during a concert; and Verizon Wireless, which
interfered with NARAL Pro-Choice America's ability to send text messages to
its members.
We need to preserve our right's at all cost's.
We can't let the corporate lobbyists and there political goon squad dictate what we can and can not do!. After all what good is free speech if large corporations have the right to stifle communications they find objectionable?
Reclassification is necessary to enshrine key anti-discrimination provisions so that users can access the websites of their choice and use the equipment they want without interference or degraded service. Chairman Genachowski's plan is a good start, but it has to be expanded to include reclassification, as well as protections for wireless Internet user's True net neutrality would mean no discrimination: It would prevent ISP's from speeding up, slowing down or outright blocking web sits or content based on its source, ownership or destination. It's time to make net neutrality a permanent law!
