Do you believe we fall under that?

We've seen this language before a while back. I think Jim Robinson posted a thread about a similar bill in a previous life. I'll try to find it.

My guess is that as long as you aren't paid by a lobbyist for posting here, it won't apply to you. I've certainly not seen one red cent from anyone - and don't want it.

What it DOES do, if I recall correctly, is give a leg up to groups like Common Cause, AARP and other so-called "good-government" membership associations, since they are exempt from its provisions if they only contact their own members to call their Congressmen. But if you and I get together, create a new group against an issue, and pay someone to create an awareness campaign for people to call their Congressmen on a particular issue, we might unknowingly get tripped up by it.
