The first step in shutting down free information access by internet. Guess it will be back to mass mailings.

[Always Right]

How do they stop foreign advertisers who wish to influence our election?

[Jim Robinson]

Well now, this is gonna make for an interesting fight. This CFR B/S is getting so convoluted I don't see how they can do anything more than throwing it out. Bring back the first amendment!!

"I don't think anybody here wants to impede the free flow of information over the Internet," Weintraub said. "The question then is, where do you draw the line?"

You don't. Stay out of it government. We the people have the right to speak.

Like Terayza Heinz?

Such as this: Norwegians Place Anti-Bush Ad in Washington Post"|

She's not even coherent. I can't believe that the libs actually like her.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Free $peech for $ome ?

Was posting the Sun article, unexerpted, on Kerry against F.R. rules? I flagged the Admin Moderator just in case it was, but nothing ever happened with my post. Don't want to get F.R. in trouble due to posting subscriber only material.

Information is power and our mega-government wants us to have only enough power to write out that check to IRS. The USSC eagerly put its stamp of approval on CFR. In fact, the majority of those justices think we should all be subject to european law, so it's not surprising that they would despise the 1st Amendment -- along with all the other Amendments (except for the commerce clause and, of course, the famous "right to privacy" clause).

If they can find a way to kill the internet, they will. Count on it.

This will be like a piece of bread taking on a killer-ant colony.

[Weirdad]

Where's the barf alert? ;-)

[demlosers]

FEC better tread lightly or they may overstep their authority.

[gitmo]

Payback for embarrassing Rather. And for the Swift Boat Vets daring to express their opinions.

[BJungNan]

And just how exactly are they going to stop me from publishing on the internet?

[LibWhacker]

First we'll outlaw moneyed special interests from purchasing air time and unduly influencing elections; it's only fair because the little guy doesn't have equal access.

Then we'll outlaw the little guy from publically talking about politics before an election because it's unfair for him to be able to do it while the moneyed special interests can't.

YEAH, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

Just what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Shut everybody up, first for 60 days before an election, then 90, then 180, then a year, then forever.

I'm glad she changed parties because she's their problem now.
