OBAMA HAS THE KILL SWITCH. NOW WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY.


Friend of Freedom,

The Australian government was the first to test-drive an Internet "kill-switch" on September 2, 2009 when they shut down the Internet for one hour to see if they could.

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak used Egypt's "kill-switch" this past week. We know it works. We saw the results live on television. It now appears that every government in the world has the ability to silence the voice of their citizens by simply shutting off access to the Information Super Highway. It is mind-boggling. With a "kill-switch," government can "pull the plug" if it feels that government is being threatened by terrorists, or any national emergency that will disrupt the nation.

For any government to trigger a "kill-switch" to block access to the Internet is government intrusion at its worst. Please read this email before it impacts your First Amendment rights. Barack Obama has delegated the authority to shut down the Internet in a "National Emergency" to the Federal Communications Commission so they could re-delegate that authority back to him. He didn't need to "test-drive" what people are now calling the Internet "Kill Switch." He knows it works.

Sincerely,

A special message from:


Friend of Freedom,

What happened in Egypt, sad to say, can happen here. What fueled the flame of "democratic demonstrations" in the streets of Egypt was the use of the Internet and social communication networks like Facebook and Twitter. That's why the Mubarak administration pulled the "kill switch" and closed the onramps of the information superhighway in Egypt.

The "Kill switch" was designed to be a security measure that theoretically was to be used in an EMERGENCY SITUATION to protect the Internet from cyber-sabotage. Hosni Mubarak used it to try to silence his people by blocking the onramps to the Internet by shutting down the ISPs which carried the audio and visual transportation over the information superhighway.

But here's the even more terrifying "news"...

Barack Obama ALREADY has the power to PULL THE PLUG on the Internet in the United States! "What? I never heard about that?" you ask. Of course not, it was buried in the new FCC rules and regulations enacted by the FCC (by a vote of 3-2) on December 21, 2010. The full implementation will take place in 60 days---BEFORE FEBRUARY 21, 2011 in a couple of weeks. That's why we must act fast.

That's why we must respond today so we can communicate with every single Member of Congress to overturn this disastrous FCC decision. Please help us now!


AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE TOLL FREE NUMBER TO CONGRESS: 1-1-877-851-6437
