We the People demanded that internet remain free when SOPA and CISPA were brought before Congress. Congress has rejected SOPA and CISPA to insure that the internet remains free from regulation. Executive orders are not a back door to go around congress and the American people. These bills and this executive order threaten our democracy and civil liberties. The internet is a valuable asset that allows all citizens of the world to communicate and work collectively to build a better world appealing to all world citizens. Show us true leadership. Stop infringing on our civil liberties.
Why is this important?
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the co-sponsor of the failed Cybersecurity Act of 2012, is pushing for an executive oder to bypass congress for federal regulatory control over the internet. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has announced that the executive order is "close to completion".
