Stop the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (s773)
If you're on this site, then you probably know how useful the internet is for the sharing of information. You also probably enjoy the many ways you can interact with others and entertain yourself. This will all come to and end if the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (s773) passes. This statement isn't conspiracy, visit opencongress.org and search s773. Under all of the legal jargon is a plot to strangle any semblance of free speech or thought on the Internet. Please don't sit and watch your freedom be taken from you.
Members of The United States House of Representatives;
We the undersigned appreciate your concern for the safety of the American people, but The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 is, in our opinion, a step in a very wrong direction. It is a gross violation of our First Amendment Rights (including speech, press, and peaceful dissent). It constitutes an invasion of privacy. Through varied and likely clandestine means by which data will be collected, monitored and manipulated, it will lead to violations of our Fourth and (in this post-Patriot Act oppressed state) Fifth Amendment Rights. I would like to remind all who read this that our rights are granted to us by birth and virtue of God. Our rights are
listed in The Constitution to inform us all of what cannot and should not ever be taken away from us. The Internet allows all of us to be informed and inform others of any information The People choose. Is this not (at least partially) the freedom the framers of The Constitution had in mind? Benjamin Franklin said " Those that give up liberty for security, deserve neither liberty nor security." We deserve more freedom, and less of what The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 has to offer.
Your Constituents,
