Time Is Running Out

Posted by Raven on May 21st, 2005

From RedState.Org:

Time is running out. The public comment period for the FEC’s proposed rulemaking regarding your freedom online ends on June 3rd. I can tell you that they have not yet received nearly as many comments as they expected.
There is a threat. You need to act.

More important – you as a blogger or just a reader have input the FEC needs. They need to know what sort of things you do (or will do) online. Do you raise funds for candidates? Do you have a group blog that might get a little revenue? Are you considering incorporating to protect yourself from liability?

You don’t have to be a lawyer to comment, and you don’t have to write 10 pages of legalese. Just send an email to internet@fec.gov and explain your concerns. If you’ve got any extra time you can actually skim the rule and see all the places that the FEC asks for comment.

Some resources for you:

Center for Democracy and Technology’s FEC website.

    Thanks, Raven. I’m too new at blogging to have all my mo squelched by some ridiculous infringement on free speech.
