Anti-First Amendment S.1 Passes Congress

Congress is attempting the silence bloggers and other critics of the government.

Section 220 of S. 1, a lobbying reform bill that went before the Senate should not go unheeded—it will “require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street lobbyists. Section 220 would amend existing lobbying reporting law by creating the most expansive intrusion on First Amendment rights ever. For the first time in history, critics of Congress will need to register and report with Congress itself,” according to Viguerie.

would this apply to forum topics with more than 500 views?

LOL wait and see.

I'm not sure if this interpretation of the Bill is correct.

I was under the impression that it was introduced to limit the influence of the K Street lobbyists.

I also have read that a specific exemption clause has been included to exclude AIPAC from the Bill.
