You may recall back in March we learned that the FEC was considering new rules that would regulate political communication on the Internet under the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform law, which means that bloggers would be subject to the regulations as well. Political blogging (news and commentary) and linking to political sites could be considered campaign activity. Such regulations would seriously curtail the flow of free expression in political debates and discussions.
There is an online petition where bloggers can object to this FEC plan. Go to the link and file your protest. Time is running out. The public comment period for the FEC's proposed rulemaking regarding your freedom online ends on June 3rd
