The House votes to cut off funding for the FCC’s Net Neutrality laws
It is becoming quite obvious that Barack Obama and his regime have a total lack of respect for the law; between Barack Obama ignoring the court ruling which overturned his drilling moratorium in the Gulf to his refusal to halt Obamacare after it has been ruled unconstitutional to the EPA moving to regulate greenhouse gasses even though the legislation did not pass in the Congress to the FCC moving to implement Net Neutrality rules after a court ruled that they did not have the authority to do so, one thing has become more than apparent–Barack Obama feels as if his agenda is so important and righteous that the end justifies the means and as such he is above the law and can do whatever it takes to accomplish his Marxist goals.
Earlier today the House took the first steps in their attempt to stop the FCC from illegally implementing Barack Obama’s Net Neutrality laws when they voted to cut off funding for this operation. By a vote of 244-181 the House successfully added an amendment to a bill that would fund government agencies for the rest of the fiscal year.
The American people can have an honest debate about this issue, and we can elect politicians who represent our views on Net Neutrality. If the American people support this legislation they will send people to the Congress who also support it. The legislation can then make its way through both houses of the Congress and it will end up on the president’s desk for his signature. But the one thing that we cannot have is for this–or any other legislation–to fail in the Congress only to have the president allow an unelected federal agency to implement the failed legislation through dictate because the president feels as if he is above the constitutional process, and that is exactly what is happening on the issue of Net Neutrality.
Today the House took the first step in at least temporarily slowing down the FCC’s attempt to implement the president’s Net Neutrality laws, and while this is good news that is all this was–a first step. This bill will still have to go through the Democrat controlled Senate where it might meet some opposition, but the fact remains that this is the one option that the House has for slowing down Barack Obama’s agenda. They can defund this as well as Obamacare and this will allow the American people to decide who is right–Barack Obama or those that look to rein him in.

Fantastic, and I’m so glad to see them take things down, one at a time. Wonderful.

If Barry wants cuts, here’s one right here (of course we know he doesn’t really want to cut anything). 60/40 the government shuts down.

This seems like a logical cut but I cant wait to hear how he reacts to this.

I am glad to see this in the process, Steve. Even if I agreed with Net Neutrality, the way the President was going about it was the wrong way. His tactics are one thing I really have a problem with. As you pointed out, he seems to think he is above the Constitutional process.

I feel that the manner in which he is going about this is the most troubling part of it. He is looking to do an end run around the constitution.

I’m glad to see this. I think it should be a two pronged attack. As far as I know, the FCC is proceeding even though the courts have said they have zero authority to proceed. So why don’t we look at working this trough the courts again along with defunding their efforts. We need to start sending the President a message that the rule of law does matter in America.

The FCC is ignoring a court ruling and you ask a great question; why is nobody bringing this back to court? Why isn’t the FCC being held in contempt? It is time to get seious about this!

This man is one of the most dangerous. In a recent speech regarding his demand of a Public Value Test for all stations.. which I have read he has the right to implement:
“If a station passes the Public Value Test, it of course keeps the license it has earned to use the people’s airwaves,” Copps said. “If not, it goes on probation for a year, renewable for an additional year if it demonstrates measurable progress. If the station fails again, give the license to someone who will use it to serve the public interest.”
Then we have Janet pulling the pug on 84,000 websites. These are dangerous times my friends. Anyone who hasn’t caught on yet, better do it in a jiffy.
