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.

Not sure I understand how having your server overseas, while still publishing to it from within the U.S. would help at all here... I mean, you'd still be breaking the law in the U.S. if this were to come to fruition, because you'd be authoring from within the U.S., and likely that would fall under the premise of this (Machiavellian/Draconian/whatever you'd like to call it) law being proposed.

Seems to me this would be one of those little known portions of the law that they'd like people to feel safe about infringing, then they'd nail people for the technicality.
