Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) has pledged to take up a lobbying reform proposal that would impose new regulations on speech by grassroots organizations, while providing a loophole in the rules for large corporations and labor unions.

B-b-but I thought it was us eeevil conservatives that we're the puppets of big eeevil corporations, and loved oppressing everyone?

[rjp2005]

This really pisses me off to speak bluntly. The average voter has almost no say nor the time to follow all the issues, so we rely on many grassroots groups to keep us informed and remind us when major issues are hitting the floor. I'm sorry, but it's none of the House's business how we are meeting and who we are contacting.

This anti-lobbying BS is ridiculous. As if lobbying is evil or unconstitutional. Forget more laws - if leftists stink as lobbyists, that's they're fault not ours.

Tell me what, that he's a damn fool?

[Darksheare]

I already saw some 'genius' state that McCain is the "only one who can save us".
McCain likely would go along with this 'brill-yont' idea of Pelosi's.
*sigh*

Well, since Jim posted this thread, I guess we shouldn't ping the posters who are happy the democrats won. Let them venture forth on their own.

:)

Maybe THEY will learn a few lessons.

I doubt it .. last I checked, they were still blaming republicans

[Howlin]

You know they won't; they are positive they are right and we are wrong.

[Jim Robinson]

All right everyone. Time to fire up those phone calls and letters to your congressional reps. Let the grassroots war against these fascist dictators begin!

[Mo1]

they are positive they are right and we are wrong.

Well .. if Nancy gets her way .. no one will hear what they have to say

[You Dirty Rats]

I wouldn't be surprised if John McCain decides to sponsor this in the Senate.

I hate San Francisco Nazis.

[KevinDavis]

I think we should ping them.....

[Howlin]

Which will just be one more ISSUE to add to their agenda.

[onyx]

Yes sir! Let me try to find the link to Indy Pendance's posting of ALL their names, addresses, and telephone numbers.

[fhlh]

my point exactly!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you for posting this and for sounding the alarm and the call to action.

This is just one of many "initiatives" that I am sure they are about to hit us with if they can get away with it.

Let's get busy......so they cannot get away with it!

[Dog Gone]

The liberal blogs and forums would oppose this as much as we do.

I don't think this legislation will see the light of day.

[onyx]

LOL -- go ahead.....

[rjp2005]

I'll admit I've been pretty quiet lately as far as phone calls and letters, but this REALLY fires me up. The average conservative lobbying group is a small group on a shoestring budget and it's none of Nancy's freakin business how we conduct ours.

Letters and phone-calls - LOCK AND LOAD!

[Mo1]

The liberal blogs and forums would oppose this as much as we do.

I wouldn't count on it .. the liberals help Nancy write this Bill

[EBH]

They want to shut us up. They think they have the ability to take away the very Rights, the very Right, the Founding Father's intended us to have, keep, and hold sacred.
