List of the 19 Senators who Voted to Censor the Internet Today

The 19 Senators Who Voted To Censor The Internet

from the free-speech-isn’t-free dept

This is hardly a surprise but, this morning (as previously announced), the lame duck Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to move forward with censoring the internet via the COICA bill — despite a bunch of law professors explaining to them how this law is a clear violation of the First Amendment. What’s really amazing is that many of the same Senators have been speaking out against internet censorship in other countries, yet they happily vote to approve it here because it’s seen as a way to make many of their largest campaign contributors happy. There’s very little chance that the bill will actually get passed by the end of the term but, in the meantime, we figured it might be useful to highlight the 19 Senators who voted to censor the internet this morning:

• Patrick J. Leahy — Vermont
• Herb Kohl — Wisconsin
• Jeff Sessions — Alabama
• Dianne Feinstein — California
• Orrin G. Hatch — Utah
• Russ Feingold — Wisconsin
• Chuck Grassley — Iowa
• Arlen Specter — Pennsylvania
• Jon Kyl — Arizona
• Chuck Schumer — New York
• Lindsey Graham — South Carolina
• Dick Durbin — Illinois
• John Cornyn — Texas
• Benjamin L. Cardin — Maryland
• Tom Coburn — Oklahoma
• Sheldon Whitehouse — Rhode Island
• Amy Klobuchar — Minnesota
• Al Franken — Minnesota
• Chris Coons — Delaware
• This should be a list of shame. You would think that our own elected officials would understand the First Amendment but, apparently, they have no problem turning the US into one of the small list of authoritarian countries that censors internet content it does not like (in this case, content some of its largest campaign contributors do not like). We already have laws in place to deal with infringing content, so don’t buy the excuse that this law is about stopping infringement. This law takes down entire websites based on the government’s say-so. First Amendment protections make clear that if you are going to stop any specific speech, it has to be extremely specific speech. This law has no such restrictions. It’s really quite unfortunate that these 19 US Senators are the first American politicians to publicly vote in favor of censoring speech in America.

Kagan: OK for Law to Ban Books— the Government Won’t Enforce It !!

Humana is Target of “Censorship” for Mailers that do not Support ObamaCare

“Today brings news that the government is investigating a major insurance company. What’d they do this time? Rescind the coverage from an old lady while she was falling down the stairs? Collude with a competitor to fix prices?

“No, according to the Associated Press, the government is investigating Humana for sending out a mailer that could be construed as opposing Democratic Party policy.”

Rep. Culberson discusses Pelosi Censorship

Left doesn’t like Obama Joker Stories, But they had no Problem doing it to George Bush

     The left is seething over the grafitti drawings portraying Pres. Obama as “The Joker” in Los Angeles, as well as on the internet. Like China, the White House has a link for people to report unfavorable sites to them.

     How short is their memory? It seems that aVanity Fair article cast Pres. George W. Bush in the same light. The Obama administration needs to back off of its censorship agenda.

A Sample of Freedom of Speech under an Obama Regime

   

  In our country’s Bill of Rights, our Freedom of Speech is on that we regard with great respect.

     Yet, as the Sen. Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic nominee, then its nominee, the context of how our Freedom of Speech will be affected if Obama wins in November is clear and evident in the blogsphere:

This is the 3^rd case that I’ve heard about from blog talk radio.

 

Obama’s “Truth Squads” Censor Free Speech on BlogTalkRadio?

This is breaking news: In yet another Orwellian move by the Obamites, Tracy, over at “No Compromise when it Comes to Being Right” was shut down by blogtalkradio tonight when she was interviewing Phil Berg about the lawsuit against Barack Obama! Here is her post:

Phil Berg is my guest today on No Compromise Radio:

I scheduled a show with Attorney Phil Berg who has filed a lawsuit against Barack Obama for not being a US Citizen therefore he is an illegal alien.

My show was terminated at the beginning of the show. Why? The BTR assistant Director of Customer Relations, Shannon Dingee-Kramer stated that my show was, “racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, unreasonably violent, threatening, intimidating or harassing; 2. contains falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage BlogTalkRadio or any other person; (BTR red emphasis–not mine!)

In other words, those who claim to be for free speech are afraid of it when they see it, or hear it in this case! It might offend someone and that’s far more important to protect than the American Principle of exercising the flow of speech in the arena of public ideas.

So I am officially off the air until further notice thanks to the Obamunists and Islamists who support him!

 BLOG TALK RADIO ==== where is the Freedom of Speech. Phil Berg questions Obama’s citizenship, and that is Racist!!??
