We need to have the states start to challenge the power congress has, and reduce the power that congress has by electing people who will start to reduce the size of the government. As long as the government is handing out trillions of dollars it is in anyone's best interest to see as much of that comes to you as possible.

Come on, man. Enough with this parroting of Ron Paul's talking points. (I do support most of RP's ideas, BTW).
I'm not attacking you personally, but the post you made.
It is the Federal Government's responsibility to regulate interstate commerce. The Internet is not limited to 1 state; it falls right in the purview of interstate commerce.
I get the "small government", "low taxes", etc. arguments. But there's a place to make them; discussing how the Congress is trying to kneecap the Internet is not one of those places.
