Senate voted 50-48 to kill your broadband internet privacy... [View all]
Ok, kids...healthcare merriment aside, time to get back to work.
The repubs just gave your ISP permission to collect anything and everything on your internet interactivity and sell it to anybody willing to pay for it. And that includes browser history, email, text messages, tweets...EVERYTHING! Your medical history, job searches, forms submissions...ALL OF IT. To any third-party willing to pay for it!

The only repub to vote NO was Rand Paul. All Dems and 2 independents also voted NO.
The House votes on it next week so we only have a few days to pressure our Congressmen/women into doing the right thing. I'm skeptical but hopeful a miracle can still happen. Meanwhile, somebody needs to tar and feather that idiot new FCC Chairman!
I provided but one link to this devastating turn of events, but there are dozens more for more info and the strategy path to follow.
Hurry, the vote is next week. Thanx for listening.
