When will congress vote For Internet Nuetrality, Will it affect my internet browesing through fourms & Online Games?
Net neutrality has been removed from the new telecom bill by the republicans. The new telecom bill will pass and Bush will sign it.
The bill gives your internet access company (DSL or Cable provider) new powers. They will have the ability to slow down or interfere with or interrupt any site or service they feel like, without telling you. If the provider of that site or service pays them a fee that is decided by the telecom company, then the speed will be normal. If not, they can slow it down or stop it altogether. You won’t be able to tell whether the site is broken or your telecom slowed it down and they won’t tell you either.
So yes. The law will be passed, and your internet provider will be allowed to slow down or interrupt your internet forums or online games whenever they want and they don’t have to tell you. If the web sites you like to visit don’t pay a special fee to your telecom company, then they will probably interrupt your access to these sites.
There is still time to call your senators and congressmen because the bills have not been voted on yet. Good luck!
PS: The Republicans want this bill and they want the cable and phone companies to have this power over your browsing. The Democrats are trying to stop it or make the internet neutral. The democrats are failing and the Republlcans are succeeding.
Whatever happens, vote this November.

If they knew it was "lies"?
If they were president doesn’t the vote mean they would have made the same decision?
Because it would appear that after 9/11 US citizens needed someone to blame, someone to pay, someone to feel their anger (and I suppose that’s understandable).
Watching from a different continent it seemed there was a general gnashing of teeth and despite the terrorists coming from Saudi Arabia, the oil companies…sorry, president Bush, selected the weakest of "rogue" states in the middle east to attack; a country which had nothing to do with 9/11.
However, once the ball was set in motion and the call for vengeance so loud, I think Bush could have selected Canada and congress would have authorised it.
It disgusts me slightly that a president and his cronies could use the pain of the citizens he is supposed to protect to line their pockets.

why would democrats cave in to Bush and the GOP and grant immnunity to CEO’s and corporations who helped Bush illegally spy on americans and violate the constitution?
Face it whatever those Congressmen are we don’t know.
But for sure they are not the Democrats that campaigned for office last year.
If congress has to vote to declare war, and vote for all fo the war spending, why is all the negativity directed to the president. Shouldn’t all the angry people be angry at their congressional reps?
Congress has access to EXACTLY the same intelligence and information as the President. Congress, composed of Republicans AND Democrats, overwhelmingly voted FOR the war, including "Secretary of State-elect" Hillary Clinton.
As much as the Democrats hate Bush and the Republicans, don’t you think that if they had been "lied to" about ANYTHING, that they would have said or done SOMETHING about it????
Common sense, people!!!
BTW
Saddam Hussein had plenty of time to get the WMDs out of the country before our inspection teams were in a position to conduct a thorough search.
FACT: Saddam Hussein had, and USED weapons of mass destruction against the Iraqi people and invaded 2 other countries.
Say what you want about whether he physically "had" WMDs or not when we invaded…it really doesn’t MATTER…he was a threat to the Iraqi people, the Middle East, AND the world.
Pretend there’s a known mass murderer…you invade his house, find all the bodies (as we found all the mass graves in Iraq), but no weapons, or only a few, so were you somehow "wrong" to invade his house?? Give me a break!!!
