Sept. 27, 2016, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging Congress to reject any continuing resolution that fails to stop the Internet surrender:
“It is now or never to stop the Internet surrender. Given the Department of Justice’s failures to respond to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on a number of outstanding legal concerns with the Internet transition of U.S. oversight of the domain name system, delaying the transition for at least a year while these issues are addressed and letting a new Congress and Administration take a look is in order. These issues risk either creating an unaccountable global Internet monopoly or a potentially fractured domain name system if antitrust does come into play. The transition proposal contemplates neither scenario, and these issues cannot be addressed once the transition occurs on Oct. 1.”
