I'm sure this is NOT going to be a shocker to anyone...Fucking Republicans

[Zinfandel]

These fucking republicans have no fucking shame what so ever...I KNOW, what else is new! Is this just another Republicans attempt to keep the poor, dumb? Or to sneakily control the Internet? Or just the usual everyday republican corporate greed, as to keep making huge Internet monopoly profits from subscribers....This is truly disgusting. This asshole "Pete Sessions" from Texas!

Internet under attack in Congress

A bill just introduced in the House could destroy universal, affordable Internet access everywhere.

The “Preserving Innovation in Telecom Act” (H.R. 2726) would let big cable and telecom companies shut down Community Internet and municipal broadband projects being planned across the country.
The bill would prevent state or local governments from providing “any telecommunications service, information service or cable service” anywhere a corporation offers a similar service.

This outrageous legislation was introduced by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) — a former SBC executive — and is a blatant effort by the telecom and cable companies to cement their monopoly control of communications at the expense of innovation, competition, and local choice.

We need your help to stop H.R. 2726. Please send a letter to your representative now.

1. Republicans exploit the masses on behalf of their corporate masters.

It's getting tougher to deny who's really running this country now.

Mussolini, father of fascism, said that all fascism really is,...is corporatism.

We have corporatism by proxy, my friends.

4. God, I hate them too!

They are so goddamn predictable. If it comes to putting us into physical or mental concentration camps they really are the Grand Old Party. Fuck them!

5. Isn't this an urban legend?

I remember when Hilary ran for the Senate, they asked her and her opponent about a bill aimed at controlling the internet, and it turned out to be a hoax.
