Wow, did anyone actually read the proposed legislation? The people identified in the bill are lobbyists. Not bloggers, but astroturfing lobbyists... The following criteria has to be met in order to be affected by this law:
1 An Astroturfer with 1 or more clients
2 Reaching 500 people
3 Being paid $100,000 a year
With that said, it would be easy to ammend it in the future to apply to any political dissent. On the other hand, the existing laws requiring lobbyists and PACs to register seems to work quite well.
What is an "Astroturfer?" I thought that was the stuff in Bill Clinton's pickup bed.
That means dave, or is likely to mean, dave, that you are a beneficiary of that law -- a member of the protected class. No rabble in the mix. All players have to kiss the ass of power and pay a stiff fee. Yes, indeed, does "work well".
