Gee. I wonder why the Republicans would be pushing so hard for this? I mean it's not like they don't control the rest of the media. And say.... Why doesn't this apply to FOX News, who's constantly contributing BILLIONS to the republican agenda?

Oh, but did you hear about the HS student who's being held on $5K bail for writing a story about zombies taking over his highschool?

I got this through the usual chains, but it also included a nice fundie story... http://buggydoo.blogspot.com/2005/03/dawn-of-brain-dead_01.html

Oh!

To get back on topic: This is important. In the last election, Republican campaigns used fake bloggers, donated nameservices, and otherwise illegal and misleading (actual lying) ads distributed over the 'net to forward their campaigns.

While you may know of how Dean and then Kerry were able to use the internet to get alot of donations, the Republican National committee spent alot of money (illegally) influencing the press and distributing ads which would not have been allowed under the current laws.

That's why it's important they actually pay attention.

...Who knows how it'll go, but I doubt they'll go after links and copied statements. Free press and all.
