FUCK YOU, DIANNE FEINSTEIN!!! Feinstein trying to kill net neutrality via amendment to stimulus.

[backscatter712]

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/11/feinstein_stimulus_amendment/

US Senator Dianne Feinstein hopes to update President Barack Obama's $838bn economic stimulus package so that American ISPs can deter child pornography, copyright infringement, and other unlawful activity by way of "reasonable network management."

Clearly, a lobbyist whispering in Feinstein's ear has taken Comcast's now famous euphemism even further into the realm of nonsense.

According to Public Knowledge, Feinstein's network management amendment did not find a home in the stimulus bill that landed on the Senate floor. But lobbyists speaking with the Washington DC-based internet watchdog said that California's senior Senator is now hoping to insert this language via conference committee - a House-Senate pow-wow were bill disputes are resolved.

"This is the most backdoor of all the backdoor ways of doing things," Public Knowledge's Art Brodsky told The Reg. "Conference committees are notorious for being the most opaque of all legislative processes."

This is what Dianne Feinstein and those who bought her want the Internet to look like:

1. I hate when Dems behave like Rethuglicans....This should get voted down though..

...

[Cronus Protagonist]

12. She's never behaved in any other way

She gets voted in over and over on name recognition alone.

[Cleita]

85. She gets voted in only because there is no opposition. So either it's her

or a Rethuglican.

[Enthusiast]

143. How bout we fix that?

Anyone that represents strictly corporate interests has got to GO!

[Cleita]

161. I would love to but if you have ever tried to change entrenched politicians

in California politics, you are met with resistance from the entrenched Democratic Party. We need to change the leadership and activism of all the local chapters first. I know for a fact that it is like pushing a boulder uphill in my county. I don't know about yours.

[rhett o rick]

164. HOW HOW HOW. Easy to say but impossible to do. She is an incumbent and the

Democratic Party will back her all the way. We are stuck with her. unless you vote for a republican against her.

[Le Taz Hot]

86. It's more than name recognition.

The Republican wing of the Democratic Party (DLC) LOVES them some Feinstein. Art Torres is especially enamored with her. The good news is by the time she's up for re-election, she'll be 79 and HOPEFULLY will not run again.

[rhett o rick]

165. All Democratic incumbents are golden in their primaries. That's the way it is. nm

[Hieronymus]

56. I've not voted for DiFi for years. Her office number in San Francisco is busy.

[zonmoy]

94. Problem is that finding a dem that doesnt act like one.

one would have much better luck finding a needle in a haystack.

[Downwinder]

102. What is Cindi doing now? nt

[zonmoy]

104. I think she and Kuchinic are the only two actual progressive democratic politicians

at least on the national scene. The rest far as I can tell have sold out to the corporate and other evil cabals.

[DissedByBush]

112. Her amendment is selling out to corporate

It is for Comcast, Sprint, Time Warner Cable and all other ISPs.

[Norrin Radd]

140. Jim McDermott.

[KalicoKitty]

111. Quite common for her! n/t

[peace13]

2. I believe that would be the mother of all earmarks Diane.

Why do people keep electing her? She is a wreck on wheels.

[truedelphi]

110. Unfortunately it is not just that she gets elected to theSenate

For many years, you have to receive her approval to run for office in the state of California.

She not only acts like a Gatekeeper in her elected activities in the Senate, she keeps the progressives out of office, unless they run as Greens or Indies.

whose husband was and is in bed with the Republicans on arms deal;

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/04/22/MN310531.DTL

read and weep.... SHE HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!!

California Democrats can you hear us... SHE HAS GOT TO GO!

[JDPriestly]

156. I'm from California and I just wrote her.

I pointed out that her plan will make internet access more expensive for those of us on limited incomes -- including kids from poorer families, the elderly, the disabled -- all the folks who need free to inexpensive internet services. Her plan is not a stimulus. It is yet another expense that is not needed at a time when families are worried about whether they can pay their mortgage, much less the cable and internet bills.

[Baikonour]

6. Obama won't let it stand.

He's VERY much in favor of net neutrality.

The repukes are looking to completely change the landscape of the internet. They want to milk it for every cent they can. Fucking scumbags.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

63. BINGO

O8) :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :hippie: :party: :toast: :bounce: :puke: :eyes: :smoke: :think: :crazy:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. I'd be friggin shocked to see that happen.

And yes, fuck DiFi. She's lower than Lieberman, AFAIC.

[wroberts189]

8. PLEASE ANYONE..stop this craziness or say goodbye to DU k&r

[librechik]

9. what? No critique of our own allowed now?

read the posting rules again

[Baikonour]

10. He means stop the craziness that Feinstein is proposing.

Otherwise if Net Neutrality is compromised, we could potentially say goodbye to sites like this.

[librechik]

Oh--I thought he was scolding us for being disloyal to Di Fi

who has never been loyal to us, BTW

Sorry, newbie! I misunderstood.

[Baikonour]

45. Not sure if you're calling me newbie.

Not sure if it's a term of endearment, either.

Was just trying to clarify his statement.

[librechik]

97. It's a term of endearment, sweetie

They're so cute sometimes!

And welcome to DU!

(troll is the other one we use. Except we aren't allowed to. )

I COME IN PEACE AND MEAN NO HARM

[backscatter712]

14. I think what wroberts389 meant was...

If net neutrality is shot down, and a tiered Internet is implemented, the same big corporations that have taken over TV, radio and newspapers will take over the Internet, and price everyone except big corporations out of being able to put up websites accessible to the world.

In other words, if Comcast can discriminate on traffic, by "say goodbye to DU," he means that DU won't be able to pay the thousands of dollars of extortion money demanded by Comcast, and Comcast users will not be able to surf to DU.

[librechik]

29. thanks, hon--my freep-dar is too sensitive sometimes.

[RaleighNCDUer]

64. IOW, our internet will be re-made on the Chinese model.

Approved voices only.

[BeanFiend]

159. Devil's Advocate

Wait a minute. If the net is truly neutral, won't we run into the same problems there that we have in the Talk-Radio arena? You can have a great number of great progressive sites, but if nobody goes there,... well you get my drift.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. I swore I would never

ever vote for her again after she caved in to the "we don't torture" BS... she is a DINO. Fuck her.

[backscatter712]

35. Look at opensecrets.org.

Not only does she have a bunch of media companies giving to her and making her beholden to the MPAA/RIAA, she's also taken huge amounts of money from various defense contractors.

For DiFi, war's good for business.

[leftchick]

42. spot on

she is a Political Ho!

[frylock]

99. what pisses me off is that i have to wait till 2012 to NOT vote for her..

we all have Dan White to thank for her success.

[no limit]

13. Let's find out who's paying her. This is evidance she's corrupt.

[backscatter712]

17. That's easy. opensecrets.org

Translation: The MPAA & RIAA want net.censorship.

Edit: More detail: Individual contributors include Walt Disney Co, Time Warner, Vivendi - members of Big Media.

[no limit]

23. Can anyone explain to me how this is legal?

Why are these assholes allowed to get any contributions from big business/corporate interests?

[backscatter712]

26. Legalized bribery is a grand tradition in the Beltway! n/t

[Swede Atlanta]

153. It is called political "free" speech

The Supreme Court has held that contributions to political candidates is a form of political speech that is guaranteed, not without some qualification, under the Constitution. Unfortunately they have also held that corporations and other non-human entities (created as legal fiction under our laws) have limited rights under the Constitution. I personally don't think that the founding fathers really intended for say AT&T to have the same speech rights as a poor mother in Alabama. But that is what we are stuck with. And so what happens is these non-legal things have the right to contribute to politicians as part of political speech.

[me b zola]

15. do you have time to include Senate phone number to your post?

I think we need to flood her office with our response.

[backscatter712]

20. Done! n/t

[Faryn Balyncd]

18. C - A - L - -L - - - Y - O - U - R - - - S - E - N - A - T - O - R - - - N - O - W ! ! ! ! !

[me b zola]

39. Exactly

Don't stop with calling Feinstein, call YOUR senator and tell them to pressure Dianne to knock it off!

[Sequoia]

90. She is my senator !!!!

Maybe I should call and yell at her.

[dmr]

125. Exactly - and the White House - write, call, email.

She is a piece of work.

[GregD]

21. I reached her SF office. Ripped them a new one.

Freaking scum.

[backscatter712]

24. Just contacted her DC office.

Left a message with her staffer. Used the strongest words that I could think of while still being polite.

[Hieronymus]

60. I called her SF office too ..... disgusting woman.

[slackmaster]

22. Always the authoritarian

I'm on her permanent Shit List.

[Deep13]

149. Jesus, no shit, huh?

:mad:

[Uzybone]

25. What iun the hell is wrong with DiFi

even the Republican'ts are not trying this shit right now.

[glitch]

37. She's corrupt and it ain't purty. nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

82. which is why this whole thread and diary are wrong. so wrong. so very wrong.

In Chicago, from which I post, the definition of a good politician is once bought, they stay bought.

DiFi is a good politician. She is wholly owned, subsidized, controlled and operated by big money. she cares not one bit for us, California, or any combination there of.

she is a good soldier, she is obedient, and she will NOT respond to our calls, letters, e-mails or more. She, and our efforts are simply a waste of time.

[glitch]

132. She's corrupt, the voters are ignorant, it's a traditional folk dance. nt

[AzDar]

27. She is horrible.

:puke:

[peacetalksforall]

28. She is a despicable shill who is in a class by herself - neither Republican nor Democrat.

Ms Feinstein - you started out wealthy, why do you push for more wealth for yourself?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

30. That article mentions that Congressman Waxman is prepared to support her. nt.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

33. Waxman?

Normally he is gold, so I wonder what this is all about.

[annabanana]

68. It's about "copywrite"

His district is full of filmmakers etc..

[Born_A_Truman]

31. So she's using an old GOP trick...

putting child porn in there to make it look like it's for the public good??

When is her current term up? 2010? How does Boxer feel about this, anyone know?

[backscatter712]

34. Not to mention using parlimentary processes to sneak provisions in when nobody's looking.

She couldn't get this in during the standard Senate deliberations, so she's trying to shove it in while the bill's in conference committee.

Slimy. Absofuckinglutely slimy.

[Mojorabbit]

32. I gotse through to the LA office

and they say it is true.

[Renew Deal]

38. I hope gotse isn't affected by this.

:evilgrin:

[glitch]

36. Line-item veto coming your way Diane. nt

[tabbycat31]

40. when is she up for re-election

and do the CA Dems have a strong enough candidate to take her down in a primary?

[Born_A_Truman]

62. She won re-election in 2006 so she's up in 2012

[madrchsod]

41. she`s always been a whore for the telecoms

movies studios, and music companies

[diane in sf]

43. Just called her Fresno office, couldn't get phone answered in SF, she is such a repuke shill

[Auggie]

47. I called Washington D.C. and got through

[defendandprotect]

55. You know Obama has to get busy cause the lines are always busy . . .

but glad you got thru!

I've resorted to calling a number of local offices to get thru --

Also the new form for Obama "change" is annoying vs the formerly open e-mail

address for president --- which Obama people are saying they no longer monitor! ---

Obama has a big communications problem and they don't seem to even know it!

[Bake]

44. Despicable, plus, what does this have to do with economic stimulus?

She should be ashamed of herself.

Bake

[Auggie]

46. Complaint registered. What the hell is wrong with her?

[thereismore]

48. Eek. I won't do it. nt

[KansDem]

49. "reasonable network management."

Is this anything like "reasonable banking management," or "reasonable investment management?" :shrug:

[lsewpershad]

51. Target

Maybe it's time we target her the next election cycle.

[Odin2005]

52. Hey DiFi, EAT SHIT. DIE.

:puke:

[defendandprotect]

53. OK . . . noted that Comcast makes $500 Billion a year from internet porn!!!

Also, that Democrats have two wars to end--

dealing with Bush bankrupting of Treasury --

and that we need Single Payer Health Care ---

I'm sure she's interested in all those subjects!!!

[Hubert Flottz]

54. Di-Fi is a Joe LIEberman Democrat!

[defendandprotect]

57. ...and she has been promoted . . . !

[Ardent15]

133. Thank you!

She is a true DINO.

[KansDem]

58. NO!!! I get all my news/information from the net...*

I don't want it filtered like the M$M does!

*Okay, I also listen to the BBC...

59. She's not only useless, she's dangerous. nt

[snappyturtle]

65. K&R Will contact! nt

[adamuu]

66. I called. Thanks for posting the phone number.

Brian confirmed that there was a net neutrality measure added to the conference committee's version of the bill, but it was removed.
I told him to please register my displeasure in adding unrelated amendments during conference comittee.

[EraOfResponsibility]

67. K&R, and I called from DC

stupid bitch re: DiFi

[marmar]

69. DINOanne, Schumer, Reid.........blecch.

With Dems like these.....

[bobbolink]

80. Glad to hear from another "fringe"....!!! It's NOT about RW vs. "progressives"...

it's all about corporatists vs. populists!

WHEN are "progressives" going to finally GET this????

BUTTTTT... when it comes voting time, we're beaten about the head and shoulders for INSISTING that OUR VOICES be heard, and not the damned corporations!

FUck it!

[beac]

70. Got thru to her DC office. Was given the "stopping child pornography" BS by the tool who answered

the phone.

Told him that America has our eye on Sen Feinsten and she wouldn't get away with this!

[ezdidit]

71. they ought to buy her off.

Legislating morality is not the role of government. Free speech doesn't mean that I must listen to it or that I must be influenced by it.

Rather, Feinstein ought to be working on strengthening the role of government regulation of ISP's and child pornography - (but that's a nation that doesn't have any juicy targets) - nor is there any role for US government intervention since it's international in scope.

Feinstein is just using the Rumsfeld strategy - attacking Iraq because it's got good targets.

[backscatter712]

72. Any news on this?

The headlines show a deal being struck in the conference committee, so there's an official stimulus bill that's the same in both Houses, and it's getting the support of Snowe and Collins, which means it's most likely going on Obama's desk.

Does anyone know if Feinstein's net bowdlerization amendment made it in?

[adamuu]

106. The guy in Feinstein's office said the amendment was removed.

That's all I know.

[backscatter712]

107. Hope so!

That would be very good news!

[endarkenment]

73. This is the side of the Democratic Party I fucking hate.

With a passion.

[anonymous171]

74. Me too. I prefer a Welfare State to a Nanny State. nt

[endarkenment]

75. In my opinion, if we stopped with this sort of shit

a whole segment of those white suburban male voters who keep marking the wrong line on the ballot would come over to our side. It would complete the isolation and regionalization of the Republican Party.

[anonymous171]

78. Yep. I agree.

The rabidly anti-gun, pro-censorship wing of the party has really hurt our image among those demographics.

[backscatter712]

84. Absolutely. If we got rid of DiFi, we'd have a filibuster-proof majority by now.

These corrupt corporatist nanny-staters have been holding us back, and need to be forced out.

[FLAprogressive]

76. Fein$tein is a greedy bitch

[GiveMeFreedom]

77. Got through to the San Francisico office

and spoke with Rose, told her that I was against the Senator's amendment to the bill and that we already had laws on the books that deal with all of her concerns. I also said that if this goes through, that corporations will take over the net and that, that would be disappointing. I think I heard Rose pushing the delete button on the recorder as I was hanging up the phone.

[peace13]

79. Not only will it be disappointing

it will be the end of or world as we know it. We are hanging on by a thread because of the net.

[Sequoia]

81. And she wants to run for Gov of California !!!

No way....I want Jerry Brown back. Gavin Newsome wants to run to but he's not qualified. His hair is in the way.

What a dirty trick she's trying to pull though.

[FLAprogressive]

83. hey--$he can run....at lea$t $he'll only be $crewing over one $tate $$$DiFi$$$

instead of 50

[bridgit]

88. We want Jerry too, but if DiFi runs she will likely prevail

[Sequoia]

91. You might be correct. Look at how they voted for Nazi Arnold.

And now after making state workers take 2 Friday's off a month he's theartning them now with massive lay-offs.

[bridgit]

95. Oh I remember his "skinny little arms, girly man, Conan, terminator" freak show...

"blow up the boxes" e-yaw, e-yaw, e-yaw gibberish but Sacramento has had enough of his routine. It's a good thing he spends allot of time in LA, cause here walking round he looks like a white, knuckle dragging, steroid addled ape

[ooglymoogly]

103. San Fracisco and north is solidly democratic....The valley

and south is Puke country...and further down with the exceptions of a few pockets, it is rabid puke country. A few months back Di Fi was up for a vote of no confidence, which scared her out of her prada's, but some of her close supporters pulled a fast one to keep that from happening and there was anger all round. She ended up apologizing. With a little nudging it could happen again. A vote of no confidence makes a semi lame duck out of a senator and that is an avenue we should pursue more often on Senators like DiFi.

[ooglymoogly]

105. Time to begin a campaign for a No confidence vote on

DiFi....but it has to come from folks in her district, of which I am sure there are many on this very site. It happened once before and came within a hares breath of going through.

[disndat]

121. I think this was when

Barbara Boxer gave Di-Fi her firmest support, a sisterhood type gesture even though they are political opposites. I doubt if Di-Fi will be running again, but 2 orr 3 years Di-Fi can still do a lot of harm.

[cascadiance]

120. well yeah! And Feinstein's damn campaign co-chair also worked for Arny too

Talk about two faced supporters she has...

I still think she WANTED Arnold to win that race. She KNEW that she was likely going to get in trouble with the conflict of interest that forced her to resign that one committee chairmanship, that probably had her do the one good thing she did last year (and that was start the amplifying the news of the firing of the U.S. Attorneys). I'm guessing that she wasn't doing it so much for the interest of the general public but for her own sorry ass.

She probably knew that the Republicans were coming after her if some of the California prosecutors were being replaced with more extreme entities, and knew the Republicans might have been more inclined to replace her than Democrats, which is probably why she "cut the deal" on getting Mukasey in later.

If we had a Democratic Governor though, the Dems might have been more inclined to have found a way to get her replaced, as Republicrat as she is, if they had the goods on her! Her co-chair endorsing an Arny win was probably a way of staving that off...

I hate to say it, but as much as I loved Barbara Boxer being my senator, I think I moved to a place with collectively two better senators now since we just put Merkeley in to replace Gordon Smith in Oregon... I LOVED seeing that Wyden was probably helpful in getting Panetta the position that Feinstein absolutely hated him getting over the CIA...

[nachosgrande]

87. She is terrible.

I'm a Californian and I refuse to vote for her. She's a little right of "Moderate Republican."

[ekwhite]

130. Same here

Dianne Feinstein should just retire.

[Imagevision]

151. Feinstein; "what's in it for me - and hubby")

[DrZeeLit]

89. Feinstein has lost her liberal mojo. Really. She's got to retire. She's soooo done.

[JMizzo]

93. Fuck Feinstein

Wow I just got off the phone, and the bill didn't make the cut. The aide did inform me that Senator Feinstein would re-introduce the bill later. When I asked about how that is legal, and how monitoring and choosing our internet bandwidth and capabilities doesn't impede interstate commerce. He said that the Supreme Court have a very loose definition of interstate commerce, and then I followed up with the school zone gun ban that is being overturned. The government cant infringe on state actions and rights without violations of interstate commerce. All he said was we didn't see things the same. So I gave it to him big time. Now its time for the rest of the DU members to get on board.

[firedupdem]

101. Good for you and welcome to DU....this thing sucks big time!

:hi:

[backscatter712]

96. I don't think she's ever had liberal mojo.

During her nefarious career, she was a notorious gun-grabber, even while carrying a concealed handgun herself, she frequently pushed for nanny-state regulations like restrictions on rap lyrics or violent video games. Back in her San Francisco supervisor days when she was working with Harvey Milk, she was the conservative on the board.

She's always been a "Let them eat cake!" aristocratic bitch.

[DrZeeLit]

144. That's interesting. I'm originally from So CA and I think we were "lured" into seeing...

a woman liberal. I don't think we were privy to much of what went on in SF, except of course the headlines. And I admit to knowing only the major themes of the Milk era -- my bff lives in the city.

So, what I always thought was... okay, she's a woman, she seems liberal, you go girl.
But...what I've come to realize as I've lived out of the state for the last nine years is... whoa! she is a conservative, backpedaling wolf-in-sheep's clothing.

Whatever "creds" she touted, have vanished, as far as I'm concerned.

I always appreciate knowing more of the story.
Thanks.

[KamaAina]

92. Best. Abbreviation. Ever. "the Recording Ass. of America"!

Waxman has long backed the MPAA and the Recording Ass. of America in their efforts to crack down on P2P file sharing.

:rofl:

[LaPera]

98. This way the republican corporate media machine can eventually control the flow of info & truth on

the Internet, as the republicans do on mainstream television, radio.

Fuck Feinstein.

The fucking wolves always show up in sheep's clothing. (Using the same old bullshit line of "protecting children").

We need to defeat Feinstein's up coming Internet bill!

[Enthusiast]

145. This is their aim.

A free internet is truth's last stand. Feinstein must be pounded until she relents and apologizes for representing a clearly Republican/corporate centered interest.

[bridgit]

100. Yeah fuck that dumb bitch!

:rant:

[Veilex]

108. This is the epitome of the failed politics of the Bush era...

and needs to be halted immediately in every way possible. DiFi needs to be shut down and reprimanded...comcast needs to be sued over this...oh wait they are already in the process of being sued over this...hmmmmmm so that would make this a case of fixing the policy to fit the crime...

More of Bush era politics.

[leftstreet]

114. "fixing the policy to fit the crime..."

You said it!

[90-percent]

109. Quickly, quickly...

Could someone please school me on Feinstein's "progressive" credentials? What has she done that's in the same league as the courageous Dennis? Dennis freekin CHANNELS the Founding Fathers. Wish we elected more like Dennis!

-90% jimmy

[Bluebear]

113. Did she pray with her hand-picked buddy Rick Warren over this?

Disgusting.

[Auggie]

115. Must call Senator Boxer too

[Seldona]

116. I thought this crap was dead.

Isn't the country-wide wireless, ad-supported, network going through under this new administration? I thought I remember an article about them removing the filters they planned to put on it.

These two initiatives hardly seem compatible. Either way I hope she is stopped in her tracks. Pronto.

[Misskittycat]

117. Feinstein's San Diego Office Says It's Been Dropped Totally.

Not even possibly a part of the bill anymore.

Edit for headline punctuation error.

119. VICTORY!!!

Awesome! Between us and other web sites, I think we beat DiFi into submission!

[scytherius]

122. AWESOME!!!!!!!

Ya know, as a Californian, I HATE voting for the Republican candidates here as they tend to nominate extremists. However, I'm sure as Hell gonna think long and hard before I ever vote for Feinstein again. Can NOT stand her.

[Hubert H. Hubert]

118. Feinstein can suck my tubes. {nt}

[McCamy Taylor]

123. Rec number 100. Bad Senator, bad!

[dmr]

124. We need to call our own Senators & the WH to stop her! NOW!

Am doing so now! Thanks for the info

[Nictuku]

126. She is one of my Senators

I called and left a message.

[Ed76638]

127. This is what we're up against

Between these ignorant, dumbass right-wingers, and these bitch-ass, pussy-ass "centrists", its going to be fucking imposible to anything done in Washington.

[rhett o rick]

128. It is harder to get rid of a rogue Democrat than a republican.

How can we un-elect DiFi? I don't think it possible

[GreenTea]

163. A "moderate" (at best) Dem doing the republicans dirty work to control the Internet.

Diane Feinstein is doing the republicans dirty work with bullshit legislation's, the republican love and need a Democrat in name to get censorship on the Internet passed and then the republicans use it to get it going for their narrow benefit.

And once it occurs you know how the republicans and the corporations will find ways to keep democrats & progressives at a minimum, to faze out their voices.

This how it starts, slowly through legislation and then the republicans exploit it for their advantage.

[D23MIURG23]

129. Done. K&R

[Piewhacket]

131. I'm a CA Dem Voter Dianne - you BLEEP! after all this and other shit...

the FISA crap, two hundred other betrayals
I voted for you every bleeping time, but you aren't a DEM.

I swear I'll vote for a GD Repuke before I vote for or support
you again. YOU ARE SO bleeping OUT!

(help! someone talk me down! if I vote repuke.. I'll ..I'll..)

ranting aside there is nothing that can be done, she's
too popular in the state, i see no practical way to
legally remove her from office, and even if she were
arrested for corruption, and i know of no grounds for that,
the new senator would be just be appointed by Arnold (R).)

[Hawkeye-X]

147. Vote whatever you like..

Green, Rainbow Party... whatever...

just don't pick DiFi...

[Ardent15]

134. Feinstein needs to go, get someone like Anna Eshoo or Henry Waxman as Senator

[lib2DaBone]

135. Whose husband received the 3rd most IRAQ WAR Money.....

.. so get out there and fight like hell Diane... make us #1. USA...USA...USA....

[democracy1st]

136. K & R

[orbitalman]

137. She needs "porked" real bad ...

but who would do it??!! Any volunteers?

[20score]

138. I really hate her as much as I do any Bushie. Because she is one.

[orleans]

139. when is someone going to start investigating her and that

war-profiteering husband of hers?

[rambler_american]

141. K&R

:kick:

[Oerdin]

142. Since 2000

I haven't voted for either Boxer or Feinsteinn but the truth is politicians are like ticks and once they burrow their way in they have a job for life. We seriously need a constitutional amendment limiting every member of Congress to no more then two terms.

[Enthusiast]

146. Does anyone believe Obama

could have been elected without a free internet? The aim of the corporatists is to corral thought and information, we know this. Controlling a wild and free internet will be the final nail in our coffin.

[Yes We Did]

148. "This Mailbox Is Full"

:rofl:

[redqueen]

150. I bet she's next.

I wonder if she'll use Holy Joe's strategy if she's defeated by a primary challenger.

[antimatter98]

152. Feinstein needs to be investigated for her role in torture and wiretaps of Americans.

That would calm her down. Also, let's publish where her campaign money
comes from and a list of telecom lobbyists who 'visit' her office.

Citizens of California: Why do you keep re-electing her?

[peacetalksforall]

154. I now proclaim her to be the leader of the APP, the AP Party.

The Anti=People Party.

She may pretend to be and think she is a Democrat.

We're on to her.

She needs labeling for what she is.

She's a Joe.

And she must go.

No more Committees. No more Caucuses.

Let he ride out the rest of her term voting for the BM Party (Big Money) and than she's out of there.

Maybe she should resign now. Save her legacy.

[BobRossi]

155. WAFC!

The female Joe Lieberman.

[Raster]

157. I just got through to her Washington, DC office!

"I am extremely disturbed by Senator Feinstein's attacks on Net neutrality. Unfortunately she seems to be listening more to lobbyists for the corporate communication giants than she is her constituents.

Her husband is a war monger and she's ridden the coattails of Harvey Milk for far too long.

How much money does she need?"

It's time to break the corporate stranglehold on our country's economy and government. We must elect representatives that will listen and respond to our needs, not those of corporate lobbyists!:kick:End Corporate Personhood!

[Eric J in MN]

158. It's the job of the ISPs to transmit,

...not to judge whether content is legal or not.

Dianne Feinstein is terrible.

[Uncle Joe]

160. It's too bad, Feinstein didn't have the integrity to bring this amendment to the floor

for debate instead of trying to back door it in.

This is a betrayal against the people's First Amendment freedom all for the sake of corporate supremacy.

Copyright infringement my ass, they want public riga mortise.

[LaPera]

162. What's next, corporate republican owned Internet web site priority & censoring of progressive sites?
