If none of those who claim to know what needs to be done aren't able to help do whats right, then who do we turn to. With so much corruption thruout this country our only recourse will be to have a national TEA PARTY. The End is getting closer every day, so you might as well bend over and kiss your — good-bye.

ICANN was in the USA because the USA made the initial investments that defined the protocols and connected the initial networks that ultimately grew into the Internet. I am not surprised that some other countries a) covet that power and b) don't trust the US government to wield that power wisely. I can't help but wonder if ICANN's decision to separate from the US government is timely - by putting the Internet out of US control during a time when the US government seems willing (if not inclined) to sacrifice individual freedoms. I don't know if competing international voices will be sufficient to maintain individual freedoms on the Internet. I don't know that the Internet would have stayed free if it had stayed under US control. ICANN was formed to solve some of the problems associated with connecting networks.

Dick Morris said that he gave our independence away at the G20 Summit! What gives this President the right to give anything away? I heard him take a oath to protect our Constitution. Why can't we make him acountable? Please I need answers! I would like someone to write an article about all our rights that were given away by Obama!

Soon to be regulated by those who feel they are our 'betters', who fear that we, the unwashed masses, have actually been talking with each other & recognized the despicable activities of our elite ruling classes. When these folks sought power, free speech was critical so they could communicate their goals, or at least the goals they wanted us to believe they intended. Now they have power in America's Congress, White House, & bureaucracy..... and suddenly, free speech, specifically OUR free speech (again, we the unwashed masses), must be regulated & controlled. "Our" speech is dangerous & "our" speech will lead to violence. Those leftist demonstrations & protests that destroyed property, got people hurt, & some even killed... well after all, they were doing it for "our" good! Right!?! Right!?!

Man, hoaxes about the government trying to regulate and/or "tax" the internet usage in the USA have been flying about for years. BTW, ICANN did NOT, and I repeat, DID NOT, have ANYTHING to do with how "computers connect with each other." Period. The US military developed the MILNET in the 1970s to connect military computers. The technology was "bettered" by Bellcore, and evolved to a user-friendly technology that eventually morphed into the "internet" we all know. And for all you other conspiracy theorists and die hard dems-I have more hard news for you to swallow...AL GORE had NOTHING to do with ANY of that, much less "invent the internet". Any of you who thought that or still do are idiots. Word. Is this for real?

It is time for companies like this to take a stand because without them we are all doomed. As American's we have to start refusing to adhere to any of his policies in whatever way we can. The Founding Fathers called it civil disobedience. That is what the real Tea Party was. It has to be up to ICANN to not let this happen.
