ordinary citizens have to register with a state agency simply because they're outspoken about a particular issue

So, how do they monitor this... if one isn't "registered" or if one isn't informed about this... face it, most "folks" aren't up on this kind of thing. Let's say I make a "comment" on the canning forum that I am a member of concerning stupid canning regulations. (I could go on and on with this scenario.) How can they possibly regulate this? (It's sort of like that mandatory-voluntary community service "plan.") (BTW, I understand they probably have "targets" in mind. But, face it, the web is a BIG place.)
