Florida's Senator Bill Nelson

Obama-mania control of America continues, first the Census was pulled to the White House, now a bill that would give Obama and his unscrupulous cronies’ control of the internet is making its way through the Senate. The fact that Florida’s own, Bill Nelson, is a cosponsor is alarming and Central Floridians will not be happy
The sponsor and other cosponsors are:

Sen Bayh, Evan [IN] - 4/2/2009
Sen Snowe, Olympia J. [ME] - 4/1/2009
Sen Rockefeller, John D., IV (Sponsor)

CNET has this quote in an article today:

I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its vagueness," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which counts representatives of Verizon, Verisign, Nortel, and Carnegie Mellon University on its board. "It is unclear what authority Sen. Rockefeller thinks is necessary over the private sector. Unless this is clarified, we cannot properly analyze, let alone support the bill (S773)."

"What happened to the Air Force who is charged with protecting cyberspace!”

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, has spent months behind closed doors. Reviewing a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 which permits the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called “cybersecurity emergency.” The bill would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" (this means private computers—yours) computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. The proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," (more bureaucratic BS) and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been licensed by the GOVERNMENT.

Conservatives are urged to contact Bill Nelson and tell him to get a grip and drop S773, now!
