Obama pushing to regulate Internet!
WASHINGTON - September 17, 2009 - While the Amerikan people, the news media and most politicians are absorbed with proposed health care legislation, two pieces of legislation that were introduced in the U.S. Senate, if passed, will grant illegitimate President Barack Obama unprecedented power to access private Internet data, regulate cybersecurity in the private sector, and the authority to completely shut down the Internet during a cyber emergency.
Senate bills 773 and 778, both introduced by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.), are part of what’s being called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which would create a new Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, reportable directly to the president and charged with defending the country from cyber attack. In addition, it would require professional IT people to be certified by the federal government, something that angers these technicians and those who believe in the First Amendment.
According to critics, this stealth legislation is being sponsored by the powerful and highly partisan Senator Rockefeller and the liberal Senator Olympia Snow (R-Maine).
