Bloggers Beware

To all people who blog on American soil:
Our new democrat controlled congress is adding to the march of tyranny by attempting to remove some of your first amendment rights. Buried deep in 9000 word bill before congress right now is a provision which will criminalize certain blogging activities. Claims have been made that the provision is tightly restricted to only one tiny class of bloggers but if you look into it the wording is quite vague and could apply to many people who blog regardless of political affiliation or income (although the specifications do seem slanted against more successful bloggers)

By some measures of this bill, my encouraging you to contact your congressman to help prevent this becoming law would be construed as committing a crime. But since it isn't in place yet, for heavens sake, contact your congressman or woman and get section 220 of this bill struck down.

No member of our blogging community should be silenced, regardless of their income our political bent.
