Via RedState, The On-LineFreedom of Speech Act has been introduced in the House of Representatives...
In short - if this bill passes both houses and becomes law in the next 50 or-so days, the disastrous FEC rulemaking process will be rendered moot. Remember, the FEC is only creating regulations for Internet activity because Congress didn't specifically mention the Internet at all, and a federal judge ruled that even in the absence of specific direction of Congress, the FEC had to do so anyway.
This bill provides that direction, and creates that exclusion. It might not solve *all* the problems of regulation, but it's miles and away the best solution right now. I've already heard from some liberal colleagues in the blogosphere, and we're going to push this bill - and hard.
This is a Good Thing™, but it's terribly sad that Congress even needed to address this issue. I think the FEC kinda needs to catch the ClueBus and realize that there are some things which are, simply, "No-brainers."
*ooops* (Forgot who I was talking about.... Um, "about whom I was talking....")
