Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Ted Cruz in an interview with TheBlaze Sunday evening said “threats to Internet freedom” have “never been greater” and could have the potential of affecting independent online news outlets like the Drudge Report and, one would assume, even small local sites like Tulsa Today.
Speaking to TheBlaze in Dallas, Texas, the Republican presidential candidate responded to reports that Congressional review of digital copyright law could threaten aggregator news websites saying, “I think threats to Internet freedom continue growing… This administration views the Internet as a threat.”

TULSA, OK—It took three tries but the Tulsa Oilers finally got the job done, taking on the Allen Americans, the defending Kelly Cup Champions in the BOK Center and handing them a 3-1 defeat in front of 5,370 in the BOK Center on Sunday afternoon. The Oilers got a goal in each period to hand the Americans their second loss of the young season.
The Oilers struck first at 8:35 of the first period when defenseman Matt Konan sent a rocket from the top of the left circle through traffic and Americans goalie Joel Rumpel and into the Allen net. The Americans knotted the score at the 14:35 mark when last season’s points leader (and former Tulsa Oiler), Chad Costello chipped home a rebound behing Oilers goalie Jussi Olkinuora.
