• If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Tax ‘Em!

  Politician Launches Fresh Attack on Blogs U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, is an enemy of free speech. Allen is launching a new attack on political bloggers with the renewed threat of regulation under the Stifle Free Speech Act Campaign Finance Reform act even after the Federal Election Commission rightly exempted blogs from regulation under that law.

  Matt tells me he’s been aware of this for a while. I personally don’t see how they could possibly succeed in limiting blogging under the Campaign Finance Reform Act. But honestly, people, this is so silly that I’m only posting it here because someone wanted a link to it.

  Blogging is not the ultimate in political free speech. If the government limits campaign blogging, Lord knows, people will find another way to voice their political opinions. They always do, whether we want to hear it or not.  The day I start getting campaign Instant Spammages over my cell phone is the day I say, “Enough is enough!”
