It's a sad state of affairs when we have to move our venues OUT of America to be able to speak freely.BTTT
To: Baynative
And you know damn well if there is a law being passed to curb internet speech the left has already arranged their loopholes with the legislature.Very sad and no doubt true.

Maybe it's time our elected officials were reminded of the 1945 Associated Press v. U.S. case where the Supreme Court wrote that:
...the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public.

I'm thinking this bill went under the under the no debate, no amendment rule because a lot of the Yes voters actually want this bill to fail, so they used that rule to allow them to vote Yes while the bill still fails. This stinks, although I don't think the FEC regs would apply to unpaid bloggers like us. But it still stinks, as does the entire McVain-Feingold mess.

"Bloggers are everyday citizens. They are our neighbors, friends, and coworkers who want to be able to share their ideas without asking permission from a gatekeeper in the mainstream media and certainly not from a government official. They are the historical descendants of Founding Fathers like Thomas Paine and other pamphleteers who contributed enormously to our democracy." Hooray for this man.

Do you have a clue why some of the Repubs didn't vote for this?
To: CaptRon
But then again I'm still confused about how the McCain-Feingold denial of free speech law got passed.I'll end the confusion for you. Those in power, both parties, do not value it. Nor does the President, who signed it. Nor does the SCOTUS who upheld it.
There is no free speech, nor property rights, nor forth amendment rights, nor fifth amendment rights. All in the last few years. All while the Republicans either were mute or supportive of the repeal of them.

Does the fact that the democraps voted enblock against this bill say anything to anyone? They are AFRAID of free speech; AFRAID of Americans having individual rights that they can't usurp; AFRAID of Americans having guns; AFRAID of the Fourth Amendment. Actually, they are afraid of educated Americans they can't BS every damned 4 years! Hence ... guvmint (mind control) schools. Graduate morons unable to think and they win their fight.

Curt Weldon voted against freedom of speech. Guess he is a RINO after all.

I believe that in the past, his reputation was that of a RINO. Not surprising (although in the context of his outspokeness with Able Danger, it is surprising).

I find it amazing that the article doesn't include the bill number. More censorship. I have seen NUMEROUS threads and articles on this today, and none of them mention the bill number.
