Senate Approves Measure to Undo FCC Rules

fortheloveofjava writes "The Washington Post says here that the Senate voted 55 to 40 today to wipe out all of the Federal Communication Commission's controversial new media rules, employing a little used legislative tool for overturning agency regulations. If you signed the MOVEON.org petition, an image of part of it is visible here with sponsoring senators Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Trent Lott (R-MS)."

Re:Why does the FCC have so much power?

Follow the money.

1. Who bought the FCC? The Media.

2. Who controls The Media? The Masons.

3. What did The Masons build? Washington DC.

4. What was DC built on? Swamp Land.

5. Who likes stuff underground (oil)? President Bush.

6. Who did Bush put in power? GOTO 1.

This information probably looks all wrong, but that's what the Tri-Lateral Commission wants you to think.

Wha wha wha!

You mean these "senators", who I hear are sometimes "elected" by the "people", did something in the "interest" of these "people"? What about the sacred rulings of the FCC? I mean come on, the guy who runs that is the son of a general! Plus he had the support of at least two other members of this agency, and all for naught.

This is the last straw, I'm moving to Canada.
