Support the Freedom to Click

As Texas Congressman Jeb Hensarling says, "Let Freedom Click":
I wanted to give everyone a heads up that my bill, the Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606), will be considered next Wednesday, November 2nd, on the House floor. As many of you know, the bill is intended to protect online political discourse from FEC regulation. I strongly believe such regulation would needlessly limit public debate and deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights. A House vote on H.R. 1606 is a big win for freedom, and I appreciate your support.
I urge you to contact your congressman and express your support for the continued freedom of speech for all bloggers. While many you may not agree with some (if not many) bloggers out there, we must do what we can to preserve our rights to freedom of speech. Blogs cannot be allowed to be considered an illegal campaign contribute to candidates by any reasonable stretch of the imagination. It is a sad that the Congressman needs to introduce such a bill. But we owe it to ourselves to fight for this bill, and to protect free discourse.
