Republicans in Congress just voted to reverse a landmark FCC privacy rule that opens the door for ISPs to sell customer data. Lawmakers provided no credible reason for this being in the interest of Americans, except for vague platitudes about "consumer choice" and "free markets," as if consumers at the mercy of their local internet monopoly are craving to have their web history quietly sold to marketers and any other third party willing to pay.
The only people who seem to want this are the people who are going to make lots of money from it. (Hint: they work for companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T.) Incidentally, these people and their companies routinely give lots of money to members of Congress.
So here [below in the article] is a list of the lawmakers who voted to betray you, and how much money they received from the telecom industry in their most recent election cycle.

OK, Jamaica, not the Bahamas, but the man is unqualified to be President, because is not a natural born citizen. Unnaturally born citizen. Possibly even alien?
Look up the Schaivo controversy. Tells you a lot about Republicans. All "freedom and individual choice", until they start telling you what bathroom you can go into, who you can marry, or what spouses you can pull the plug on, or grab by the pussie.

So crazy it is, then.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
