The FCC vote on their new neutrality rules is coming December 21, and nobody (other than we assume the wealthiest stakeholders) know what the rules contain, outside of a general understanding that they echo previous, paper thin proposals by Henry Waxman, Verizon and Google -- making a point to exclude wireless. <-> there have been unheeded calls for the rules to be leaked. At least one FCC Commissioner agrees, Meredith Attwell Baker urging the FCC to at least unveil the rules for a brief public comment period, something that would make sense given all  the FCC's talk about transparency:

"If this agency is to operate in the most transparent and inclusive manner, we should proactively put out a copy of our draft Net Neutrality rules for comment today. The comment cycle can be short, but putting some sunshine on what we are doing would inform our process." She said that would be a way for the chairman to fulfill his pledge of openness and transparency.

Of course the Republican Baker will likely vote strictly along party lines against the vote, but she still has a point -- even if it might be a disingenuous one made during a game of political chess. As we noted yesterday, the question shouldn't be whether or not consumers can now view a neutrality proposal after it was hashed out in private meetings (most of which with carriers), it should be why weren't consumers absolutely integral in crafting it? AT&T has met with the FCC half a dozen times in the course of three weeks and likely knows precisely what's in this plan -- do you?

This goes right along with the petition sent to the FCC in another thread here at testmy.net to attempt to bring reason to this  " wild bird " that has dissected itself from not only the American peoples will , but the house and senate as well as many others that have repeatedly told the FCC to cease there attempts to impose this attack on the 1st amendment of the constitution of the united states.

This is being done not only by the FCC , or the heads of the FCC , but if you follow who is controlling this decision as well as writing the new law , it is once again george soros and the wether underground bill ayers , the SDS ( make yourself fully aware who and what SDS stands for) and mane more groups spawned from social communism and state socialism activists, reaching into the whitehouse in Washington D.C. to none other then barak obama , who was brought up , trained , educated and fully funded by these people from the time of his coming up.

It takes a little research to trace this back to the root of what is wring on in this world , and what has been planned for 100 years. But to those that have been awake , you already knew that.

What are you doing to bring awareness ? And furthermore , what role do you play , as EVERYONE is playing a part here , even if you think you are not , you most certainly are. MAke a decision. Or it will be made for you. Where do you stand ? / rhetorical question that must be acted upon
Vote 2012 !
