The Republican National Committee is pressing the Federal Election Commission ("FEC") to issue new rules that would cripple groups that dare to communicate with the public in any way critical of President Bush or members of Congress. Incredibly, the FEC has just issued -- for public comment -- proposed rules that would do just that. Any kind of non-profit -- conservative, progressive, labor, religious, secular, social service, charitable, educational, civic participation, issue-oriented, large, and small -- could be affected by these rules.
Welcome to the Police State. :-(
By the way, one thing FEC's proposed rules do not affect is the donations you may have made in the past or may make now to MoveOn.org or to the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. They are aimed at activist non-profit groups, not donors.
Not yet, anyway...
First they went after the activist groups, but I didn't protest because I was not a group. Then they came for the activist groups' lawyers, but I didn't protest because I wasn't a lawyer. Then finally they came for the donors, but by then there was nobody left to protest.
