CATS AND DOGS, LIVING TOGETHER? Well, it’s Mike Krempasky and Kos on the same side:
The campaign finance regulation lobby is trying to muddy the waters by offering a sham alternative to the Online Freedom of Speech Act. Their bill is HR 4194, and they’re trying to convince the Congress that it provides protection for online speech.
Not so. For details on why, check out Adam Bonin here.
In response – the Online Coalition is asking the 3000+ bloggers and activists that signed on to our early comments to the FEC to light up the phones on Capitol Hill – and send a trackback to this post.
Even more significant, in a “didn’t think I’d see that” kind of moment – Markos and I have co-signed a letter to every Member of the House this morning. It’s below the fold – and useful for communicating with Congress.
Remember – in order to get the bill we WANT – we need to kill the sham substitute. HR 4194 does NOT protect speech, and it DOES increase regulation of the web. This time, let’s not let them have the field all to themselves, eh?
