I believe McCain is involved. I remember reading he was leading this a few weeks ago. That said, we can rest assured if this makes it to SCOTUS it will be after 2008 and who knows what the makeup of the court will be then.

there is no way in Hell I would let the Democrats hunt me down. They mean death. These people are clinically and criminally insane.

The left have let their masks drop and their fascist heart is showing. It's good for the truth to come out...hope all Americans get to see what the left would really do to America given a chance...and this is just a week into their term.

Don't worry, President Bush would veto such an outrageous infringement on the First Amendment.
On second thought, be worried, very worried.

ROTFLMAO!
That's a good one!!
You're KIDDING, right??
Are they going to put it in the 20 Second News brief before "Idol"???
How about the 5Pm Lead-in during "Oprah"?
Will it be on the Sheeple's Cellphone news delivery??
WE had the Majority, but OUR timidness let the Dems control THE AGENDA.....

Looks like he's broadcasting he's ready to pull a Jeffords.
The rats, due to Johnson (bless him) are paying big $$ to peel off any Senator they possibly can.

To: conservative in nyc
And not 100% accurate. It does have to be a PAID effort to stimulate grassroots lobbying. It should not apply to you or me posting on Free Republic, for example, if we're not getting paid by a lobbyist to do it.I've seen it asserted that you're incorrect here. The piece that addresses that is here...
The term `paid attempt to influence the general public or segments thereof' does not include an attempt to influence directed at less than 500 members of the general public.
Perhaps it's vague (typical wording to allow abuse), but it seems to identify that "paid" applies to the attempt to influence over 500 people.

To: tcrlaf
ROTFLMAO! That's a good one!! You're KIDDING, right?? Pretty much so, which is why I worded it as "hope" and not an expectation. Sadly, the MSM has sold their collective souls to the devil and aren't at all concerned about truth...in fact, they appear to see truth as an obstacle to be overcome.

No but it gives the government a handy list of whom to suddenly charge with blogging infractions and shut them down for the duration of an election.

We all tried to explain it to them, but noooooooo, they knew better. Same people are saying they will vote third party in 2008 even knowing that is how we got Bill Clinton in the first place.
To: Criminal Number 18F
From the prior Pelosi article, it appears that that provision was drafted by Public Citizen to prevent Public Citizen from being swept up by the reporting requirement. Cynical, no? Exemption for thee but not from me.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Why do you think SCOTUS will strike it down? How much different is it from CFR?

IT will never get to them before 2008, which is what people like McCain or Hillary are counting on... by then who knows what other rights they will manage to strip away from us commoners.
To: conservative in nyc
That's right it specifically states people communicating to 500 or more people to contact congress about any matter.
