If we were Dems, we would go public about the "chilling effect". Because we aren't, the elites will be happy.

With political fund raising, campaign advertising and organizing taking place in full swing over the Internet, it may just be a matter of time before the Federal Election Commission joins the action. Well, that time may be now. The day that happens, my servers move overseas. The FEC is not an international law body.
This is just a move by the Leftists to assure that only pro-Leftist political speech reigns on the Internet. To hell with that. When the FEC makes so much as one inroad on the Internet, our First Amendment rights are history.

Note that it's the COURTs who want this, not the FEC itself.
More proof that the underlying law is egregiously unconstitutional...

If Bush and Kerry, and their ilk, have their way the next campaign-finance "reform" will be the repeal of the First Amendment.
Professional politicians just hate when normal people speak out via "loopholes".

Leave it to the monster we`ve created (our own government) and bureaucrats to claim providence over the WORLD wide web.

"A recent federal court ruling says the FEC must extend some of the nation's new campaign finance and spending limits to political activity on the Internet."
In Texas any such attempted regulation would be referred to as, "Pissin' into the wind." It will blow back in your face.

The Internet is the last bastion of free thought and free speech. Of course, they;re going after it.

Fine, I hope they are watching over their shoulders. Lines are being drawn.

"The question then is, where do you draw the line?" That question was definitively answered the moment the 1st Amendment was ratified by the states. But since the government doesn't give a flying ___ what the Constitution says, they'll pose inane questions such as these, then do whatever the hell they want.
Anybody know of any free countries looking for immigrants?
