Everyone, blogger or reader (or both), needs to go to the Online Coalition and sign the letter to the FEC, to preserve the First Amendment Rights of, realistically, not just bloggers, but ANYONE who links to a candidates website, comments on political email, etc.
I usually keep my real name private, but this is too important not to do it right. Go, sign. I did this last week, but, had failed to write a blurb about this important issue. I forget where I originally saw this, but, having popped in to Little Miss Atilla, I was reminded. Thanks, LMA!
I just signed. Thanks for the heads-up.
You’re most welcome, Patty Jo. Gotta control these FEC critters.
It’s done.
Beginning of the week I posted on this. Heared on PBS: it was pointed out by a Stanford professor that the 1st Amendment was not written for newspaper journalists, but for “pamphleteers” ie people like us. Back then they wrote pamphlets and posted them on tavern walls and handed them out in the town square.
So there.
