Something to keep in mind right now.
The kill switch was implemented by executive order almost a year ago:
...The Executive Order appeared in the Federal Register and there were 30 days for comment. There was little if any concern, and we bloggers were simply tin foil hat folks.Orwellian times, folks.

...The wording for the executive order is of course lengthy and uses politician language, but the part worth pointing out is in section 5.2.It is in this section that the order states that Homeland Security will be able to monitor and control all non-military forms of communications in times of extreme measures, which is essentially giving the White House the on/off switch to the internet, according to some critics....

The first thing that comes to mind, besides the very frightening cutting off of freedom of speech, is school.
If they cut off the internet, those of us who depend on it for our classes are screwed.
I hope it never comes to this.
Why was this allowed to pass in the first place?
Why have we the people allowed our government to have so much control in what is suppose to be a free country?
Christine, this extreme power grab is being seized without the consent of the people. This administration is moving in a much quickened pace to head off exponentially growing opposition. Last I read, the military is banning soldiers from reading about the scandals plaguing this administration, emphasizing they should not read Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck's works.
