Lets take a closer look at H.R. 1966, the...EXPOSED! Lets take a closer look at H.R. 1966, the anti free speech, anti 1st Amendment bill proposed by Linda Sanchez (D-CA) <br /><br />5/6/2009: First lets look at the sponsors of this bill; and see just who got them elected! Click the names to see what "agenda's" they answer to; makes for interesting reading! <br /><br />Political donors to Linda Sanchez D-CA: Top 100 donors: https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00024870&cycle=2008&type=I&newMem=N&recs=100<br /><br />Busted! Linda Sanchez took $8,000 from Fox News (News Corp), a 'right wing, conservative outlet! Y'know, a liberal democrat taking money from the 'O'Reilly Factor' and 'Hannity' network! Interestingly, she also took $7,500 from DirecTV which, oddly enough, is 35% owned by News Corp. Sneaky way to make political contributions, eh? If the 2 contributions are combined, they equal her #1 source of political contributors! Explains why they used two separate entities to buy her to propose this bill. There is clearly an anti-competition angle here that STINKS. This clouds any 'concern for internet safety' spin the sponsors may put on the bill! <br /><br />Political corruption exposed; good to know who's willing to sell out the 1st Amendment for 15 grand. The sad part is, these politicians may not even be aware what they are doing is treasonous against the Constitution! The culture of Washington D.C. is so corrupted, its like second nature to them. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver; tell me... what's the difference? <br /><br />Cosponsors [as of 2009-04-18] of H.R. 1966, and their top 100 political contributors (ured.com for links) <br /><br />Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL] <br />Rep. Timothy Bishop [D-NY]<br />Rep. Raul Grijalva [D-AZ]<br />Rep. Bruce Braley [D-IA] <br />Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard [D-CA]<br />Rep. Joe Courtney [D-CT]<br />Rep. John Yarmuth [D-KY]<br />Rep. Phil Hare [D-IL]<br />Rep. Marcy Kaptur [D-OH]<br />Rep. William Clay [D-MO]<br />Rep. Danny Davis [D-IL]<br />Rep. John Sarbanes [D-MD]<br />Rep. Brian Higgins [D-NY]<br />Rep. Lois Capps [D-CA] <br /><br />When you turn on the kitchen light, the cockroaches scatter. 'Neo Conservatives' masked as 'Labor Union Democrats'; Oh my! This deceptive ploy only makes transparent the corruption that is rampant in our political system. We've seen it before: A "representative of the people" like Linda Sanchez (D-CA) used as a cover for a fear mongering, corporate expansionist, civil rights assault that pushes a neo-conservative agenda. <br /><br />Linda Sanchez (D-CA) and others have introduced H.R. 1966, an anti free speech bill that threatens the smaller voices, and benefits the larger mainstream media. Alternative media exists without an mandated, dictated agenda. Why hurt the "little guy?" (more info on the bill here)? <br /><br />Major political contributors to Linda Sanchez include big business mainstream media interests; such as News Corp, Directv, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. Newscorp is a major international media company that owns television networks such as Fox news, a conservative news outlet (hypocrite?)! They also operate major newspaper outlets, and have a great interest in seeing the smaller blogs die. These small blogs and social media outlets are grasping market share as the demand for real, independent non agenda news grows. The small blogs and media outlets are also a means for unsponsored independents (i.e. the "little guy") to get internet traffic. She is suppressing not only free speech with this bill, but free enterprise. <br /><br />Corporate monopolism through a labor democrat is hypocrisy at its WORST; this must be opposed because it is deception of the voting constituency. Call your representative now to vote DOWN this bill. <br /><br />Just more serving the interests of monopolizing corporations that seek to preserve their domination over the free internet, and snuff out the smaller voices. Disappointing, in that we had believed Linda Sanchez (D-CA) was an ally of the people, with her holding steadfast and not voting for the bailout. That is most likely the reason she is named as the author of this ridiculous bill. Think about it. How can we even trust any of these people anymore, when all they do is attempt to deceive us? <br /><br />We are not fooled. I would prefer that no further bills be submitted by ANYONE in congress, so this cauldron of sellouts can't do any more damage to our liberties! <br /><br />Why stifle working class Americans who run small blogs with this attack on the first Amendment? Speculation would suggest the bill is being pushed behind closed doors by News Corp and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. How does this bill benefit the working class people, who have to fight for their rights under the constitution; rights being attacked daily by major corporations? The answer is clear, the betrayal is evident. We see FIRST HAND that once again, elected representatives are prioritizing big money political contributions over the voting majority. <br /><br />Our rights under the Constitution are all we have, folks. It's the only defense the people have against big business and mainstream media dictatorships. This is a bad bill all around, that will weaken the smaller voices, and benefit mainstream media. Over-generalizations that can result from bills like this mean rights suppressions for those who don't have the resources to defend themselves. Who exactly is going to define the abstract boundaries of this bill? How will enforcement be carried out against free speech? <br /><br />Protect our right to free speech, and fight government intervention into your rights! Read between the lines. We simply cannot trust the political process when politicians serve the interests of major political contributors.johndanielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826656236555940567noreply@blogger.com
