    Are you asking for a lesson on who runs the executive branch? you really play the dunce troll well.
    But, I will use this as a lesson for why we must elect Republicans to the senate.... and then the white house. Not that I like establishment Rs... but I think even they would stop the attempted give away of control of our 1st amendment rights

    In the 1990s, the Clinton Administration let a contract to ICANN to oversee and manage these critical functions, a contract that is allowed only under very circumstances per the U.S. code. Under the existing contract, the Commerce Department retains the right to terminate ICANN’s contract and to replace ICANN if necessary. When ICANN’s contract with the federal government expires in 2015, as a government contractor, it will no longer possess the authority to administer DNS. That will remain with the federal government. It is important to note that former President Clinton has publicly opposed the Obama plan to transfer these functions outside of U.S. control.

    The Duffy rider to the CSJ appropriations bill stops funding for this planned giveaway of the contracting authority to an international multi-stakeholder group. This stops action by the Obama Administration in its tracks and preserves the current system, ensuring the federal government administration of DNS and IANA functions and affording constitutional, free speech protections for everyone that hosts a website.

    If these functions are transferred to an international body, those First Amendment protections will cease, and the web as we know it will be permanently transformed.

    Just last week, the House acted to slow the planned giveaway by passing a rider to the National Defense Authorization Act that stalls it until a GAO report is completed. However, this tepid action only makes sense if coupled with the tougher Duffy amendment that forces Obama’s team working on the giveaway to stop all of their activity as well.

    This week, the House of Representatives will vote on the future governance of the Internet due to the courage of Sean Duffy to bring this amendment to the floor.

    If Duffy succeeds, the Senate will need to act as well, but that is a battle for another day.

    From the "guy" who likely interacts with another human face to face every two weeks when the mailman delivers his Judy Garland dvds.

    I wonder how many people have ever heard of this person (male/female/whatever) who calls him/herself "Tsing Tao"? Kind of sad, really.

    Did you know that during WWI the Japanese invaded the city where Tsing Tao was brewed?
    Apparently...they just wanted the beer.
