Closing those darn free speech loopholes.

In another move to decimate any type of grassroots movement, the Federal Election Commission is planning on extending its authority to the Internet. Apparently, they feel that any type of promotion of ideas needs to be regulated.

Slashdot has the story and numerous fantastic comments. I shudder to think what sort of fines they could assess some poor blogger who happens to link to a candidate without filling out the proper forms. This is all in the early stages, and might not happen at all, but just the fact that they are thinking about it scares the hell out me. A government that controls what can be said will control the ideas of the people. And somehow, you can still hear people claim that we live in a 'free country'.

How the hell did we get here, and where did we hide that pesky First Amendment.
