Online Bipartisanship, Part II

Go and read the letter over at The Online Coalition, a site dedicated to preserving free speech on the Internet. If you're so inclined, sign the petition.

I haven't blogged about the FEC's rumblings toward regulating blogs. It's a ridiculous attempt to restrict the most basic of Bill of Rights guarantees. Blogs should clearly have the same protections as television, radio, print and other forms of "offline" media. Their burgeoning popularity shows that the Internet has been central in providing the vital voices necessary to keep our democracy robust. Unpaid political activity on the Internet should simply not be subject to regulation.

This is another left-right coalition, with the participation of Kos and Redstate, MyDD and Captain's Quarters, among others. We may not agree, but we all speak with one voice on this issue: let us speak!
