Stop the United Nations' takeover of the internet on October 1st!

I found out on the internet that President Barack Obama could hand over the internet to the United Nations on October 1st and it could lead into internet censorship.

Here's some proof:
"The United Nations could take over control of the Internet on October 1, when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) passes from U.S. administration to the control of a multilateral body, most likely the United Nations International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
While the administration and its defenders have denied that the UN will have authority over ICANN, the Wall Street Journal‘s L. Gordon Crovitz points out that ICANN will need to be run by a state agency in order to retain its antitrust exemption, which makes it almost certainly that the UN will step in to take control.

Crovitz notes:
It’s shocking the administration admits it has no plan for how Icann retains its antitrust exemption. The reason Icann can operate the entire World Wide Web root zone is that it has the status of a legal monopolist, stemming from its contract with the Commerce Department that makes Icann an “instrumentality” of government.



Without the U.S. contract, Icann would seek to be overseen by another governmental group so as to keep its antitrust exemption. Authoritarian regimes have already proposed Icann become part of the U.N. to make it easier for them to censor the internet globally. So much for the Obama pledge that the U.S. would never be replaced by a “government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.”

UN control would almost certainly allow tyrannical regimes some degree of control over Americans’ Internet use."

I voted for President Barack Obama, but we can't let him hand over the internet to be controlled by protester-slaughtering autocrats. We need to save the internet from being taken over by the United Nations.

Dear President Barack Obama,


The internet is very important to us. We can't let you hand over the internet to the United Nations on October 1st. Please protect the internet for us all around the world and let Hillary Clinton protect the internet.


Sincerely,


Kody Speikers.
