We re-open the petition because on November 20, 2011, the Federal government will officially take control of the Internet through the Federal Communications Commission’s Net Neutrality regulations.
If the S773 bill passes, Barack Obama can silence his dissenters directly by ordering a shutdown of all Americans' access to the Internet.
The Internet is a free marketplace of ideas and information and not a federal government property.
We, the undersigned, have added our names to this petition which will be sent to the members of Senate. We strongly oppose to the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 S. S773.
The bill would also give the President new authority to "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 NETWORK."
