CDT Offers Proposal to Protect Political Speech Online
Via The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT).
CDT today [2 March 2006] offered a legislative proposal [.pdf] that would exempt the vast majority of individual speakers on the Internet from campaign finance laws, without creating loopholes that could be easily exploited by state political parties and large donors.
CDT drafted the proposal in response to mounting efforts in the House of Representatives to pass a measure (HR 1606) that doesn't go far enough to protect the rights of political speakers on the Internet. That bill was offered in response to a proposal by the Federal Elections Commission to apply campaign finance laws to Internet communications.
