Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) spoke against net neutrality regulations today at an event put on by the Safe Internet Alliance. Representing the songwriters, singers, actors, producers and other entertainers in Memphis and Nashville, she said the creative community does not want the federal government to interfere with how they are able to get content to consumers via the Internet.
Net Neutrality is more government control on free speech
“Net neutrality, as I see it, is the fairness doctrine for the Internet,” she said. The creators “fully understand what the fairness doctrine would be when it applies to TV or radio. What they do not want is the federal government policing how they deploy their content over the Internet and they want the ISPs to manage their networks and deploy the content however they have agreed on with ISP. They do not want a czar of the Internet to determine when they can deploy their creativity over the Internet. “They do not want a czar to determine what speeds will be available….We are watching the FCC very closely as it relates to that issue.”
When it comes to broadband expansion, she said, she wants to make sure “all individuals’ rights are respected and that we look at the freedom of all broadband participants.”

No matter how you put it, "net neutrality" as espoused by the current national administration sounds more like an attack on the Contitutionally protected "Feeedom of Speech'.
Hell, didn't Hitler, Joe Stalin Chmn. Mao and others of that ilk do everything to stifle the voices of their people that wre "crying out of the wilderness' against their tyrannical oppression.
Hey, Obama/Pelosi/Reid, et al, remember "if it waljs like a duck and quacls like a duck. then it is a duck".
This judge is under some type of high pressure to rule as he or she did. One pressure applied is about 1.5 million bucks by Obama to lawyers paid to hide the certificate. Why spend 1.5 million approximately maybe to hide a $20 certificate and college records that could verify his eligibility?
What we have here is a non transparent failure to communicate eligibility to be a president of the USA in 2009. My, My what have we come to? We (Media, Dems, others seek to hide his eligibility or the possible fact he is NOT eligible).
Emails recently say Peolsi knows he is not eligible for a long time. Yes a rumor. So lets get at the facts man just the facts ( what numerous citizens have been seeking to do since before the election and failed to overcome threats by Obama's lawyers with letters to complaining and document seeking attorneys telling them to stop seeking this document ( at least shown online if the online version is valid). Fact or Fiction was Obama born with a Hawaiian doctor in a Hawaiian hospital physically in 1961 or NOT? Why don't we follow our laws on certifying a Presidents eligibility. Let's maybe just do whatever we want if we ardent going to require a president to follow the law. Maybe we all can just break some laws and we certainly should not be required to follow any . right?
