The Senate just voted for the Bennett Amendment to strip the ill-conceived Grassroots Lobbying "Reform" provision of the Ethics Reform Bill, 55-43. The vote was pretty much party-line, with some exceptions (Landreiu, Dorgan and Bayh voted for the amendment, for example). This provision could have had far-reaching implications by potentially forcing grassroots organizations who asked members of the public to call their Congressmen to register as lobbyists. Some articles said it could even have applied to Internet bloggers. Unless this ill-conceived provision gets put back in by the Conference Committee, it's dead for now.
