First Amendment Under Attack By Congress AGAIN
This is serious. The Lefties in Congress (you know, the ones who like to pretend they are the defenders of your civil liberties) are at it again. The last time they “protected” you, we got the unconstitutional assault on your right to free speech, a.k.a. McCain-Feingold “Campaign Finance Reform”.
Now the Congressional Lefties want to shut you up some more. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has introduced a bill requiring REGISTRATION OF BLOGGERS who have more than 500 readers (what blog doesn’t?), who comment on public policy issues (most blogs do one way or another), and who are “paid”. Do you trust a judge or bureaucrat to say that if you receive a contribution, that’s not being “paid”?
Oh, and failure to register would be a CRIME!
This is more of the career politicians and the MSM who cannot STAND to be criticized attempting to shut up their critics.
Read about it at Townhall and Of Arms and the Law.
Sickeningly, one of the sponsors is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was one of the main heroes in the fight AGAINST McCain-Feingold.
Townhall says to call 202-225-3121 to complain.
B*st*rds.
