[For context, see the Campaign for Liberty email below.]
Why does ANYONE on capital hill think it would be okay to remove our ability to freely access information and communicate with one another at any time. I can understand their thinking. They have to consider the what-if's and in this new age of cyber warfare between international governments and rogue groups those if's are abundant and dangerous. However, don't even attempt to put in the hand of a growing and powerful government wrought with corruption and self-interest the ability to remove the most empowering ability among citizens, the ability to communicate instantly and openly with correspondence and information. Big governments don't always protect their people. They often migrate to protecting their people from themselves. In fact, through their attempts to protect their people from themselves, big governments often begin to protect the governmental power itself. A government should be recycled regularly for the health of its balance of law, respect for its citizens and avoidance of corruptness. This cleansing should include re-evaluation of the laws and turnover of the personnel. Liberty and Freedom are the enemies of a big government that has detached, to identify itself as separate from its people. The friends of Liberty and Freedom are individuals in communities empowered by arms and communications, allowing resistance to oppression and the ability to organize. Our government shouldn't have the power to remove either of those. If we are worried about a scenario that would cause a threat to the private, government and military sectors of cyber networks, then we need to explore those and establish an ability to defend against it. Even if in a worst case scenario it created a need to shut down traffic this should be done at the request or call of the government but enacted by private, free thinking individuals. Even during this shut down scenario, private shorter range, or pocket network traffic would be enabled on emergency encrypted side channels, allowing citizens to communicate with one another as needed.
