Journal mdsolar's Journal: Slashdot is a lobbyist
I've come across this site http://www.grassrootsfreedom.com/ which hopes to stop the
lobbying reform, which is part of the first 100 hours package the democrats are passing,
from applying to normal political organizing. Basically, you'd have to report to the
government if you asked people to contact their representatives. So, on issues like net neutrality,
or GPL'd software or intelectual property slashdot might be considered a lobbyist. The National
Review http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDUxMzM5NmNiMjFkMThhMjgzZjhmMDkyZGVmYzBhZjk is
up in arms as are a number of conservative groups that organize letter writing campaigns. Should
slasdot organize a letter writing campaign about this?
