This is something new; a combination of marketing, propaganda, and demagoguery. Namecheap says that "If CISPA is passed, the US government gains the power to shut off Internet traffic." That wrong, and so provably wrong that it may be a lie. The bill is here. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr3523/text There isn't a word in there about shutting off Internet traffic. More reputable sources--like EFF, for whom Namecheap is fundraising--don't make that outrageous claim. Namecheap is trying to make a buck off the gullible.
