I had a sneaking suspicion Obama's Einstein 3 Internet program was taking aim, ready to stab the free out of me. But, in the weapons drawer of Uncle Sam, Einstein 3 is like those corn-on-the-cob holders. It compares not at all to what grim reaper, Senator Rockefeller of West Virginia, has drawn; a heavy hammer and a sharp sickle. Rockefeller plans to bludgeon the freedom and information that We the People have been using to sharpen our vigilance.
This makes perfect sense. The government is on to us. Ron Paul had unprecedented 3rd party campaign success due to the Internet. People have been speaking up and getting angry at Town Hall meetings - anger that stemmed from what they read on the Internet.
The Internet is the catalyst which transforms the will of the American People into the virus that brings about change. This virus threatens the political lives of elected officials; elected officials who have lived, politically, for far too long with the illusion that their environment is a sterile one, safeguarded from the virus - the germs that are growing into monsters - monsters who out number, and are quickly out-smarting them.
Hold on to your mouse. Check out S.773. Holy shit!

Senator Rockefeller said "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs--from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records."
BE SURE to REMIND him of our liberty. Email Senator Rockefeller here
Look! I've already written it for you:
We the People WILL NOT support any bill that favors protection at ALL COSTS. That which costs us our liberty is not worth favoring. As a free American, endowed with inalienable rights, I stand in defense of the first amendment. The government is NOT authorized to silence free speech on the Internet in matters of security or otherwise.
Some highlights from the Cnet article:
The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)
Sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.
If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, and when the government would exercise control over your computers or network.
