Broun erred in not approving bill

Imagine you own a coffee shop with a WIFI network. You now are oblogated to monitor the 10,000 uploads placed on your network every day. Assuming you find the time to do that (maybe you give up sleeping), you now need to make judgements about what child pornograqhy is.

Here is a woman showing a breast. She looks like she is probably at least 18 but you've seen 17 year olds who looked just as mature. You had better report it.

Meanwhile, 10,000 other network providers are doing the same thing. Can you imagine the beauracracy required to investigate all this? We will need 100,000 new federal employees (union members voting democrat). There you have the real reason for this bill.

Oh, and did I mention the incredible invasion of privacy for the 9,999 posts from the law abiding? This is analogous to frisking each person leaving a store to find out if they have shoplifted.

The mis-named "SAFE" act would not make children safer. It was another intrusion of the federal government into the lives of law-abiding citizens as well as criminals. It would bring about not only the things written so well by Doc above, but it would also greatly increase government power and take away the freedom of individuals. Thank you, Congressman Broun, for voting against this bill.

Many say that PB introduces bills that have no chance of passing; he doesn't compromise; refusing earmarks hurt our community...etc and etc. He is introducing and cosponsring bills that will bring our federal government in line with what founding fathers intended for this great nation. He kept his promise of of following U.S. Constitution and eliminating wasteful spending. PB along with the full Republican Congressional delegation from Georgia signed on not to request earmarks. Earmarks are one of the biggest culpits that corrupts our political system and politicians. We don't need any more big government, big spending, easily compromising politician representing us. We need an honest man who respect the voters and U.S. Constitution and stick to the principles of limited government. We have that man in Congressman Paul Broun.

Oh, Doc...you mean, then, that it would be like turning all stores into WalMart, where I am assumed to have ripped them off until they check my receipt and examine my bags...?

Almost, JS. The differences are, (1) the government would tell Walmart they have to search their customers or be punished and (2)Walmart would have to require the customer to turn out their pockets, not just show a receipt.
