President Obama has done so much to harm this country but nothing as damaging to free speech as his plan to surrender the ownership of the Internet to the UN.

Frank Gaffney, the president and founder of the Center for Security Policy , discussed Obama’s latest move with Breitbart News :

What they’re [Obama] preparing to do is to cede, or surrender, the last vestige of American control, or even influence, over what is done with critical functions of the Internet. It gets pretty arcane, but the point is, if you think that the freedom of the Internet – whether it’s the ability of people to communicate freely information on it, or whether you think of it as an engine for free enterprise, let alone if you understand the contribution that it makes these days to national security – including, by the way, the operations of our critical infrastructure – you will understand that the United States retaining a measure of quality control as to what’s going on with how the Internet is populated with names and numbers, domains, websites and the like, is a very important thing. TRENDING: Unhinged Quebec Woman Pascale Ferrier Identified as Suspect in Case of Ricin Letter Sent to Trump White House And for absolutely no good reason, other than people – or countries, I should say, like Russia, and China, and Saudi Arabia, and Iran, and North Korea – don’t want us to have any say in this and would like to be able to change things around so that they cannot only restrict all the things the Internet does to help their own people become familiar with the terrible they’re being subjected to, at the hands of their totalitarian or authoritarian regimes, but they want to take those freedoms – freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of enterprise – away from us, as well. So this is what it comes down to, Alex: there’s no good reason for doing this, certainly not in the next three days, which is what’s going to happen unless Congress intervenes.

Please call your Congressman or women and demand that they stop this insane action from occurring. There is no way that this makes any sense and is good for America. Please call Congress today because this is scheduled to take place October 1st.

Update – Four States’ Attorneys General have sued to stop this move. However, we must demand Congress also stop this lunacy. Please continue to urge the current Congress to do what is right. Save our free speech rights for future generations!
