In which of the following countries are certain types of political free speech a crime? A) China The answer may shock you -- because if you answered both "A" and "B," you're very close to being correct! Here's what happened: So McCain, Feingold, and others of their mindset – when they realized they had overlooked the Internet in their efforts to regulate political speech -- went to court. Fortunately, the House of Representatives has put forth the Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606) and a companion bill (S. 678) is under consideration in the Senate. Both are designed specifically to exempt the Internet from the draconian "McCain-Feingold Act." But we have to ACT NOW because a vote on H.R. 1606 -- to preserve free speech on the Internet -- may come any day now! And the vote may be very close!

Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in February this year, conservative thinker and columnist George Will said, “And we are right now well into the most concerted and most dangerous attack on freedom of expression in this country since the Alien and Sedition Acts, which themselves were unsettled and therefore not designed to be permanent as the McCain-Feingold regimen of speech-rationing by the federal government is.” Let's read what "McCain Feingold" says one more time and add the "Internet" to the legislation as McCain and Feingold intended: "ANY [Emphasis Mine] broadcast, cable or satellite communication, newspaper, magazine, outdoor advertising facility, mass mailing or telephone bank [or Internet transmission] to the general public, or any other form of general public political advertising." Think of the implications: If any of these situations applies to you -- then guess what -- "McCain-Feingold" may apply to you too!

Why is the Left so rabid, so hysterical in its opposition to H.R. 1606? The answer should be obvious: Or to put it another way: Would that have happened if "McCain-Feingold" applied to the Internet? That's a good question! And maybe that's why the New York Times came out AGAINST H.R. 1606; claiming that allowing free speech to go unregulated on the Internet would cause "a cornucopia of political corruption."

They know you are making a difference in Washington. Every time you jam their fax machines and shine the light of day on their plots, they are reminded of the power that you -- as average citizens -- are wielding. The Internet is the last vestige of free and effective political speech in America. It's what’s left of the Voice of the People. Let's keep it that way!
