UPDATE: Conservatives in Congress have introduced the DOTCOM Act to stop Barack Obama from giving away your Internet to the United Nations and despotic regimes around the world.
Time is short. We need the House and the Senate to pass this legislation A.S.A.P. and force Barack Obama to either sign it or explain to the American people why some international body like the United Nations and the tyrants and despots of the world need to regulate - and later tax - your access to the Internet.
Make no mistake, the "bad boys" of the world will start to regulate your online activities - in short order they'll eventually tax your Internet as well - and we must draw a line in the sand and stop this international Internet takeover now.

A "Global Multistakeholder Community"?
Barack Obama isn't going to just hand control of YOUR Internet over to the United Nations; instead, he's handing it over to unnamed members of a so-called "global multistakeholder community."
And "global multistakeholder community" is not some term we made up, or one that is being spouted about by conspiracy theorists. It comes directly from Barack Obama's Commerce Department, which announced in a press release on March 14 that they will "transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community."
And while the members of this "global multistakeholder community" are as of yet unnamed, we do know that some of the bodies involved in the planning over just who has ultimate control are, in fact, two agencies within the United Nations and a number of regimes that despise freedom such as Vladmir Putin's Russia and China.
The Wall Street Journal got to the crux of what is happening: "Russia, China and other authoritarian governments have already been working to redesign the Internet more to their liking, and now they will no doubt leap to fill the power vacuum caused by America's unilateral retreat."
The Journal adds: "In the past few years, Russia and China have used a [United Nations] agency called the International Telecommunication Union [ITU] to challenge the open Internet. ... They want the ITU to outlaw anonymity on the Web (to make identifying dissidents easier)... The unspoken aim is to discourage global Internet companies from giving everyone equal access."
And what's the big deal about "equal access"?
National Review Online quotes Daniel Castro with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation: "We may be concerned about the lack of free communication in other countries, but we don't have to sweat about those countries' governments shutting off our access here. And yet, having grown cocky in its maturity, the U.S. government is now considering inviting those countries' censors to the table and giving them a vote on how to fix a problem that never was. Why?"
Why indeed... but now that Congress is moving to stop this international attempt to squelch your freedom and your liberty, we must move to make sure that this legislation is passed as soon as humanly possible.
