Dear Mr. President
:
I am writing to urge you to sign an executive order addressing key elements of the critical infrastructure provisions of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S.3414), which unfortunately failed to pass the Senate in July despite the best efforts of myself and members on both sides of the aisle who are devoted to this issue. I remain a strong advocate for the bill and hope that it will one day be passed by the Senate. However, the need for better protection of our nation's critical infrastructure cannot wait for Senate procedures and politics to work themselves out- we must act now to safeguard our country from potentially devastating attacks to our power grid, financial systems and other vital infrastructure. …
So, I am writing her a letter of my own.
Barbara,
RE: S.3414
Thank you for the letter to President Obama asking him to circumvent due process and the Constitution in order to fulfill your personal agenda and that of “both sides of the aisle” to take over control of what rightly belongs to the People. The private sector developed the internet and has been maintaining it and protecting it just fine since then. The government has found it to be a useful tool because it has become more secure than it was in its early days’ However, if you are not comfortable with using it to perform certain functions, then you should not use it for those things. If you need more secure methods or systems, invent them; don’t just take over ours.
This legislation, if you actually READ it, puts ONE person in charge, sends him behind closed doors to pick and choose his OWN team to keep behind those doors with NO definitive plan or method except one thought up by the team to somehow "protect" the internet. REALLY, BARBARA? You might as well hand them the big switch and tell them they can turn it off whenever they want. This will breed corruption at an uncontrollable pace and in an uncontrollable place! THINK, WOMAN! This little "club" will hold even you hostage on the internet. It will destroy all retail and subsequent tax revenue ever generated by it.
THE INTERNET IS NOT BROKEN. It was invented by and remains the property of the private sector and is being maintained and protected by private sector companies competing with each other to bring out the very best in virus protection. Please work to keep the operators of the Post Office, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security out of the internet virus protection business and leave it in the hands who know what the hell is going on. If you and the Government’s computers and communications infrastructure protected, hire the private sector security companies on a bid basis, or invent your own systems.
Gary.
CC: Ben Cardin, who also voted for the bill.

Vote Bongino and NOT Cardin or Mikulski!
Why would the House or the Senate concede (more) power to the Executive Branch?
If they feel this action is needed they should get it done when Congress is in session instead of whatever else is distracting them from doing their jobs.
For the record...the private sector did not invent the Internet. Government scientists studying physics did.
That bum has signed enough executive orders.every tome he does our rights get crapped on.
For the record AL Gore invented the internet LOL
Dear Comrade Obama, could you sign another Executive Order, so we can avoid our dealings with representatives, who voted NO in this matter. After all it would be us, the GOVERNMENT, to control everything, because we REALLY know whats best for the people, kind of like the US Postal Service, Solyndra, Fast and Furious and more. Thanks a Million (Billion), Barbara M., your loyal Stimulus Loving Liberal Democrat.
Hey People, Vote These Clowns OUT in November!
in 1960, J. C. R. Licklider, articulated the ideas in his January 1960 paper, Man-Computer Symbiosis.
He had accomplished it in 1962 and written a paper on that, and the Government hired him 2 months later and provided him with three computers they wanted intercommunication with, so he accomplished that goal. He left after 2 years, and went to work on ARPAnet with successors Lawrence Roberts and Robert Taylor who had ARPAnet go live in 1969, the first "internet" that could switch to many different routes if one went down.
