What is Senate Bill 773? Well, here is the report from Computer World that explains it pretty well:
Link to Article
"April 6, 2009 (Computerworld) Two U.S. senators last week proposed legislation that would give federal officials new powers to create and enforce data security standards for key parts of the private sector — and even shut down systems in some cases.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 would empower the National Institute of Standards and Technology to set "measurable and auditable" security standards for all networks and systems run by federal agencies, government contractors and businesses that support critical infrastructure services.
NIST would also be charged with developing a standard for testing and accrediting software built by or for those groups. In addition, the bill would enable the president to order that critical infrastructure networks be disconnected in the event of cybersecurity emergencies or for reasons of national security.
The bill, which was introduced by Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), doesn't specifically define what would qualify as a critical network or system. "
So aside from owning the newspapers, having a slobbering mainstream media that lives off the mayhem our president creates, he and his supporters want to control our last bastion of truly free speech. I urge you to contact your Senator and tell them to vote against SB-773. Big Brothers reach is expanding. We need to maintain our freedom
