The Federal Election Commission to Regulate Blogs
Well, we're not having any of it.
Michelle Malkin has a post, linking a recent CNET interview of FEC Commissioner Brad Smith. As a result of litigation brought by Senators McCain and Feingold, and against Commissioner Smith's better judgment, the FEC will be looking at regulations of internet use in campaigns, which will cover bloggers.
Link to a campaign website? Post a press release from the RNC? All of these may be prohibited "coordination" with a campaign. To wit, a crime.
This outrageous violation of our First Amendment rights cannot stand. I have started this blog to point out the politicians who favor and those who oppose McCain-Feingold. The question: who believes in democracy, and who yearns to become an unelected noble or philosopher king because he believes himself too important to be sullied with actually having to campaign for reelection? Senator McCain, can you hear me?
