GET THE WORD OUT!! !! !!

Our privacy on the internet has been lax since its conception.

And Obama won't "shut down the internet." He's smart enough to know that would be a horrible move on all levels.

So this amounts to nothing. Don't panic.

President Obama is way too smart to shut down/jam Internet signals.

So have no worry about it.

OMG when I saw that first post I almost had a meltdown.

This is a joke, right? It couldn't be funnier if it was... The idea that there would be no one along the way of passing such a law who might say, "But wait, we can't shut down the internet, because that would be bad," is ridiculous. It's like suggesting that the president, whose power is limited for a reason, could be given the power to turn off TV, or close all the roads in the entire country on a whim. And doesn't the current guy have kids at home? Yeah, he won't be shutting off the internet. Spend an hour in a dark, quiet room and you'll feel better.

Bill S.773
This is in SEC. 18. CYBERSECURITY RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITY.

(2) may declare a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic to and from any compromised Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information system or network;

btw if the link dose not work for you just type the bill numbers in the search bar for this government site.

IMO what Obama and his puppet-masters are really concerned about is nationalist and anti-globalist sites. Radical Islamic sites are probably in second place. They'll probably make a load of noise about protecting society from paedophiles as well, but don't believe it.

Anyway, frauds like Alex Jones will be safe.

saw this on infowars in the past. so they're going forward with this.

EDIT: calling my federal representative

EDIT 2: and emailing senators. I love how Dick Durbin makes it easy to email him.

EDIT 3: ...and done (senators and representative). forgot this is easy ^_^

Everone else do it plz XD

The fact of it is, even though if the U.S. President had the power to shut down the internet, it would be a very bad idea to do so. This is because currently almost every major U.S. industry relies on the internet to some degree, and some industries would be totally up the creek without a paddle without it. Therefore, it would be something that would completely ruin our economy. Now I can understand if the President was given power to shut down the Internet TEMPORARILY in case of a large scale cyber attack; however, there would need to be limits as to how such a shutdown could be initiated. I propose that such an emegency Internet shutdown should be given the same required authorization as a nuclear strike (which requires an executive order from the President along with a confirmation order from someone important, such as the VP or the Secretary of Defense), because shutting down the Internet, even on a temporary basis, would be effectively nuking the U.S. economy and infrastructure.

The thought of this actually happening, makes me feel physically ill!

1. Take away people's right to arm themselves.
2. Destroy financial institutions to a point where the government assumes controls
3. Regulate virtually every industry
4. Destroy capitalism
5. Remove dissent
6. Censor free-speech

Once those five have been achieved the United States will transform into a Communist country. But wait, there's more...

7. create a security force that answers only the President
