Do Internet activities such as email or blogging qualify as lobbying...Definitions have an elastic boundary that can be expanded or reduced according to whoever is the position of power to make the definition stick.There was a reason the framers of the Constitution put the First Amendment First.
At the end of the day: The person or committee or group who makes the rules and determines the structure around the rules can determine who can participate and ultimately determine the outcome.
This is clearly a backdoor approach to eliminate anonymous discourse from the public arena.

What is their authority? Do they claim to regulate what people from outside Washington state can do?

Thanks for attending. Are they looking for input?
There’s no way they can control us. This is a FREE Speech issue.
They just want to tax us for using our Freedoms.
“Politicians have the power to collect and redistribute health — to tax and spend. Last time this happened there was a great revolution over this issue, something about taxation without representation.”
Now, who brought the teabags?
