FEC To Regulate Blogs?
FEC treads into sticky web of political blogs
The FEC is looking into how to track political spending on the Internet. The problem is when lawyers write these laws unintended consequences always arise. (Think "Alternative Minimum Tax"). If the FEC wants to track blogs that are part of campaigns or that get campaign moneys, I'm not broken up about that. The Online Coaltion has more. You know it must be bad if RedState and DailyKos are fired up another the SAME thing and are on the same side.
As an aside, has anyone else noticed the big cases that Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ends up on? She also was the judge for the Microsoft case. She certainly is drawing quite a few big name cases. Look for her to keep rising in the courts.
You have til Friday to make your comments to the FEC which they ARE soliciting. Send your e-mails to internet@fec.gov, they will require a real name and a real mailing address. You can also submit here.
For more detailed instructions take a look at:
