Sir, I am suggesting that communist liberals are destroying America with their love for big business and the State.
If the government would just stay the FRELL out of their business there would be no reason for the companies to do this.
This is what regulationaries do, they push controls and force private business's to create corrupt profit schemes.
No government no ISP control because the companies would be free to make no ISP control!Once the GOP takes the Senate and the presidency things like this will stop because their will be freedom.
If you love freedom, there is such a thing as freedom and people who do not love freedom don't love freedom.
Once the liberals are gone freedom to not monitor ISP for profit will be gone and then the Maoists will be defeated!!!

Wasnt it the Republicans who were crying about liberties being taken away?
Didnt the Democrats also push for freedoms and liberties?
Is this not stripping liberties away what they want to do now?

Who introduced the patriot act? REPUBLICANS!!
Who killed net neutrality? REPUBLICANS!!!
Who wants to play big brother like in Orwell's 1984? REPUBLICANS!!
Yet people still believe they're for smaller government. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad

Sorry, enough of the Big Brother crap. By the way, I enjoy using proxies, maybe everyone should.

Alright, just sent off an email, will post a response if I get one. My email-
Dear Jim Sensenbrenner,
I am writing in regards to the recent report where you believe that people's rights of privacy are to be thrown upon the pyre of security that others have warned us about.
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Please remember that to give one's liberty for the pursuit of security is a fools errand.
We have to remember that MILLIONS gave their lives for our freedom, are we to give it up for such for such a fool's promise of security?
I am not one of your constituents, but being a fellow Wisconsinite and a Constitutional Libertarian, I must implore you to see reason. No amount of dereliction of our freedoms will protect us, only submit us to the very tyranny that pervades the world. Remember, we are supposed to be the beacon of freedom, shall we give that up for just a semblance of security?
Yours Truly ********************
REAL ID Act
The Real ID Act started off as H.R. 418, which passed the House[4] and went stagnant.
Representative James Sensenbrenner (R) of Wisconsin, the author of the original Real ID Act, then attached it as a rider on a military spending bill, H.R. 1268, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005.
The House of Representatives passed that spending bill with the Real ID rider 368-58,[5] and the Senate passed the joint House-Senate conference report on that bill 100-0.[6] President Bush signed it into law on May 11, 2005.[7]
On March 2, 2007, it was announced that enforcement of the Act would be postponed for two years.[8]
The provisions of the bill will be delayed from going into effect until December 2009.
On January 11, 2008, it was announced that the deadline has been extended again, until 2011, in hopes of gaining more support from states.[9]
On the same date the Department of Homeland Security released the final rule[10] regarding the implementation of the driver's licenses provisions of the Real ID Act.[11]
