Contact our Senators against Joe Lieberman internet security bill.
Feel free to use some of my words if you phone-or-write the offices of Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar about this.


Please vote against the Joe Lieberman's "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act."

We can already respond to internet security issues under current law.

There is no need to give vague Emergency Powers to the executive branch, which will be abused by either the current administration or a future administration.

Having the executive branch order around internet companies is the wrong way to handle internet security.

“Right now, China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in a case of war,” Joe Lieberman has told CNN's Candy Crowley. “We need to have that here, too.”

We should not follow China on this.

Joe Lieberman fearmongers with the phrase “cyber 9/11.”

Stand up against Lieberman's fearmongering.

We don't need his bill.

Lieberman says, "we need the capacity for the president to say, Internet service provider, we've got to disconnect the American Internet from all traffic coming in from another foreign country."

That is horrible idea. I don't want all the traffic from another country to ever be blocked.

Internet companies can respond to security problems better without this bill.

"...the Senate is considering attaching the bill as a rider to a defense authorization bill likely to pass through Congress before the mid-term elections."

Please vote No.
