Bellingham, WA 68 recommendations b10010011 Member Nobody's Got to Use the Internet... Except for anyone looking for a job.



These days the vast majority of employers larger than a "mom and pop" grocery store ONLY take applications electronically through their website.



But a Conservative Republican comfortable in his position of power does not care what the people want or need. kherr

Dacula, GA 18 recommendations tpkatl Member I remember when Wisconsin was a leading state on technology and networking Back before the Stone Age came back, and Walker was elected. The thing is, Sensenbrenner used to be considered a fairly intelligent guy.



The U of W was one of the leading institutions for computing and network development; they build and funded several academic (and other) computing networks across that state.



Do we need a law that says "to vote against the internet you actually have to use it"? rradina

18 recommendations rradina Member Government Takeover? Why do those in Congress and those who work for carriers continue to conflate consumer privacy and net neutrality with government takeover? How is providing consumers with an "opt out" a takeover? How is proclaiming all traffic equal a takeover? How does either rule/regulation, as Senator Flake claims, reduce consumer choice? pL86

In the same sense that nobody "needs" to use the Internet, nobody also needs to see a doctor yet we have laws that, among other things, strictly control the disclosure of health information without patient consent. We also have a law specifically forbidding the disclosure of video store rental or sales history without consent. I think opting to rent Debbie Does Dallas is completely voluntary yet such disclosure of your rental history is forbidden by an act of Congress. Is Sensenbrenner going to push for the repeal of medical privacy under the rationale that if you don't want your private health details revealed, don't go see a doctor? Can we look forward to learning about the porno viewing habits of our congressional representatives once Congress repeals the Video Privacy Protection Act? Os

US 15 recommendations Os Member Can We Be Surprised? When it comes to privacy, this is the guy who was the primary sponsor and writer of the PATRIOT Act.



This guy's been eroding privacy rights for a long, long, long time. This is his MO.

Raleigh, NC 14 recommendations wavelength Member Such a quaint statement... So let's all take him up on that position and stop using the Internet... All of America. And then he can foot the blame when the economy craters.



Clearly this guy fails to understand just how much the economy relies on the modern Internet.

@ggc.edu 11 recommendations Anon0fe13 Anon Sensenbrenner .. what do we know about Sensenbrenner? Oh yeah.



Voted against relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina. One of the managers in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Intervened to keep Terry Schiavo on life support. Used his position to block an animal fighting bill that had passed the Senate unanimously.



Oh, and he says Michelle Obama has a big butt. Screw that guy. modifiy

Minneapolis, MN 9 recommendations modifiy Member Regulating as a utility "And the thing is that if you start regulating the Internet like a utility, if we did that right at the beginning, we would have no Internet,"



Was the telephone regulated at its conception as a utility? How about electricity as well? How about those who provided the service?



I'm not sure if he know that there is a difference from regulating the Internet and those who provide service/access to the Internet. One of the differences is the service providers provided him with funding. b10010011

Bellingham, WA 4 recommendations b10010011 Member My job, I think, is.... THINK AGAIN! "The fact is is that, you know, I don’t think it’s my job to tell you that you cannot get advertising for your information being sold. My job, I think, is to tell you that you have the opportunity to do it, and then you take it upon yourself to make that choice. … That’s what the law has been, and I think we ought to have more choices rather than fewer choices with the government controlling our everyday lives."



Think again, your job is to LISTEN to your constituents and go back to Washington and work on their behalf.



Conservatives like to toss around this fear of "government controlling our everyday lives", but yet they have no problem passing laws that let the government control our everyday lives right down to choices women can make about their own bodies and what bathroom we can use.
