Online Freedom of Speech Act

The problem of applying campaign finance reform to the internet has been noted on this blog, and many others, in recent months. I wrote originally, "Without Congress stepping in and explicitly addressing internet communications, 'It's going to be bizarre.'" Well, Congress is stepping in and explicitly addressing internet communications. Redstate.org has a note and link to legislation proposed on both the House and Senate that would ensure that the exemptions applied up to now for internet communications, exemptions that were overruled by a judge because there was no legal basis for them, would continue. "It basically resets the clock back to last summer, in regards to regulation." It certainly seems better that what the FEC has come up with for regulation.
