Why Tech Issues Matter in the 2012 Campaign and Beyond
The Tech sector has grown to be 1/6th of our national economy – equal to that of health care. Yet for most people, candidates included, it remains a niche and indeed alien policy sphere. This simply cannot continue to be the case.
Why Tech Issues Matter in the 2012 Campaign and Beyond will address a wide array of Tech policy areas – and show why we all should care. Both before and after the election.
According to the report, the Karma car, which was not plugged in, caught fire less than three minutes after being driven into the garage and that the battery remains intact.
General Motors (GM) and the Barack Obama Administration have been all along ignoring at least five Chevy Volt fires, and blaming the one to which they would cop on a total-loss accident that caused severe damage to the Volt’s lithium-ion battery.
Net Neutrality is Socialism for the Internet – it guarantees everyone equal amounts of nothing.
It requires all content on the Internet be treated equally. Meaning the hospital downloading a dying patient’s MRI gets no more broadband speed than the guy next door downloading the panda sneezes video on YouTube. Meaning your work files get the exact same network treatment as a SPAM-riddled email invading your Inbox.
Thus does Net Neutrality fail the Reality test.
It is still as illegal as ever. Before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can do anything, Congress must first write a law that says “Yo, FCC, do this.” Congress has never done this for Net Neutrality. So the FCC’s second attempt to impose it will most likely face the same ignoble, unanimous, crushing courtroom defeat as the first.
One of the Administration’s most unlawfully over-active wings has been the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Obama’s FCC wasted more than a year illegally imposing Network Neutrality – bestowing upon itself Overlord status over the entire World Wide Web.
Just this past Friday, it voted to mandate television stations put their “political advertising file” online. Which means these stations must post what their ad rates are – and which political candidates and organizations are paying them.
This is of course anti-free market – you don’t want competitor stations knowing what you’re charging for ads. It is also a tee-up for ACORN-esque Leftist grievance groups to harass stations who take Republican and Conservative ads – and anyone else involved in the process.

VIDEO WARNING: Lots and lots of offensive language.
Newt Gingrich famously called Barack Obama the “food stamp president.”
In the alternative, food stamps (and welfare checks) are called by some of their recipients “Obama Bucks” — as famously documented by Democrat Congressman Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra.
It resonated — and stuck — because in letter and spirit it’s true.
And why wouldn’t it resonate? It was already resonating before Obama’s inauguration — when one woman famously declared: “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. If I help him, he’s going to help me.”
