Captain Ed, of Captain’s Quarters Blog wrote yesterday, Bloggers Have Been Heard, in which he gives Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) praise for introducing a bill that would exempt “Internet communications from FEC regulation altogether:”

“Paragraph 22 of section 301 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 431(22)) is amended by adding at the end the following new sentence: “Such term shall not include communications over the Internet.”

We add our thanks to Senator Reid for his action, and hope the bill is passed and signed into law. We would further suggest, that the BCRA (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act - McCain-Feingold) of 2002 be repealed altogether in light of how it was brought into being, and the corruption behind it, as we posted here, yesterday.

Please read Captain Ed’s entire post, linked above, and we add our thanks to him, for helping lead the charge against FEC regulation of Blogs.
