Why Can't the Public See Obama's Proposed Internet Regulations?

Republican senators Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, and Rand Paul have all been high profile opponents of the Obama administrations current plan to regulate the internet -- in particular, Lee has called the regulation a government "takeover" of the internet and says it amounts to a "a massive tax increase on the middle class, being passed in the dead of night without the American public really being made aware of what is going on.”

And when Lee says that the American public isn't aware of what's going on, that is in no way hyperbole.

FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has emerged as a hero for those opposed to the regulation because Pai has been taking to the airwaves decrying the fact that the public is not allowed to see 332 pages of proposed internet regulation before they are potentially passed.

They are DESPERATE to get control of the internet-- it is the only medium that isn't completely dominated by their propaganda. It is the main way conservatives communicate and function.

We can't sit idly by and allow The Commie-in-Charge to get control of the Internet. I am fed up with his power grabs.

Regulate to control content then tax; a liberal's wet dream.

The PUBLIC, as in "we, the people", are not ALLOWED (we need their PERMISSION to see what laws the masters have in mind until they are already law? W T F !!??
That sound like a functioning republic to you?
Does it sound like they give a crap about what you think?
"Do not support this...." lol!!
Do you think they NEED your "support"? Or even care about your "support"??
Except for "your guy", of course.
He's never going to be part of any secret, behind the scenes subversion of our liberty, right?
Then where is his opposition to this?
Keep cheering, you unbelievably stupid lemmings.
