We all have the right to free speech you say? Not if some politicians can help it.
Rep. Tom Allen, a Maine Democrat, co-sponsored legislation in March that would bring political Web sites under campaign finance rules if they spend $5,000 or more on their operations. He said he would watch how blogs factor into the 2006 races under the FEC rules before deciding whether to press the issue.
Anytime politicians want to regulate what you are allowed to say or do in regards to publicly discussing politicians the correct answer is to boot the politician(s) in question out of office. I encourage Mr. Allen’s constituents to remind him who serves who. By the way, tomallensucks.com is available if you’re thinking of expressing yourself. You do live in a (mostly) free country, for now.
