The United States defends freedom of speech on the internet

Given the Obama administration's general interest in transnational legal solutions, huge props to our guys for refusing to sign this particular steaming pile:

The United States has said it will refuse to sign an updated communications treaty set to be ratified by the United Nations, because it veers too far into agreements to regulate the Internet.
When some government, or group of governments, says it wants to "regulate the internet," you should hear "protect the status quo."

  1. I know Obama loves the internet freedom of speech everytime I drop an opinion on him at www.whitehouse.gov and include my address.

    Hey, btw, should I be concerned about the two guys in the grey crown vic parked across the street from my house?

  2. Americans should always remember the words of U.S. President John F. Kennedy: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

    Americans should always remember the words of U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."
