Does anyone fear that the internet will be attempted to be taken away from us because of the "threat" RP and we have posed? Assuming Paul doesn't become President, the people "in charge" will have to know that we are all fired up and organizing on the internet for the long haul to make sure the Constitutional candidate in 4 years does win.. I fear they will try to take the internet away, somehow, and then it will be back to hitting the streets, which isn't bad, but you get my point...

America doesn't own the internet

You mean the threat of dominating 5-10% of Republican primaries?

I know where you are going with all of that, and it's good to be alert.

But don't get carried away just yet.

It will be a much larger amount if we spend the next 4 years setting up meetings in our towns once a week to study the Constitution. Take donations and do paper ads. Get the word out and unplug people from their TVs.

I know we don't own the internet but there are countries, for example North Korea which block whatever content they want from reaching their people. Of course this from outside that country coming in. I don't know how or if the US could block us. Under something like HR 1955 or something similar, we could be labeled anti US, or something extreme like that, who knows....I don't put anything past the gov't anymore.

The threat meaning, people having their blindfolds lifted and reverting back to everything in the Constitution. All of the "ron paul cured my apathy" people have essentially been awakened from being brainwashed. The internet has been our vehicle for spreading the word for the most part.

Well, I fear something like that and think it's a very real possibility. We should start thinking about how to organize the rEVOLution in the event that that happens.

Joseph, can you provide more info on what you said (applicable links, etc)

They have already tried to regulate speech on the Internet and have had some success, unfortunately.
