Online Coalition Comments to the FEC
I just signed the Online Coalition's comments letter to the FEC. I encourage others to do the same.
The main part of the letter:
The electorate is best served when the Commission crafts rules that remove actual corruption while encouraging more participation, opinions and choices to permeate the democratic process.
It is in this spirit and for the reasons stated below that the Commission should move forward with its proposal to include the term “paid advertisements on the Internet” under the definition of “public communication,” to extend the protections afforded to volunteers to include individuals and groups of individuals, and to treat certain online publications as falling under the “media exemption” rule.
Keep the Internet free of government intervention.
