Net Neutrality: We're Still Waiting
Tuesday, September 21, 2010
It's good that this and other issues important to the online community be front and center in the weeks before the election.
Voters should be measuring the effectiveness of their elected representatives, all of them, including Obama, even though he's not up for reelection this time). It's not accurate at all to lay this on Republican obstructionism. Yes, Republicans are a problem, but the fact that Obama and Democrats don't do everything within their power to further the ball tells us that they're not the people to get the job done on our behalf.
My own representative is the head of the Progressive Caucus in the House and a less powerful, more non-effective person would be hard to come by. When members of the Progressive Caucus take a pledge (like not voting on any healthcare reform legislation that doesn't include a public option) and then renege on it, en masse, it's time for them to lose their seats in Congress. If it means that a Republican gets in, so be it. It's just for 2 years (we survived Bush & Cheney for 8), and in the interim we find real Democrats and not DLCers (DINOs) to bring the nation back to sanity.
We know now that Obama is not committed to working on behalf of the People. Just the corporations.
