FEC May Tighten Restrictions On Internet Political Activity
Mon Feb 14 2005 10:38:41 ET

The Federal Election Commission next month will begin looking at tightening restrictions on political activities on the Internet, ROLL CALL reports Monday.

all systems work best when they are kept as simple as design allows. weather it be electrical, mechanical, social or whatever. keep it simple stupid!

where was that rule when they engineered our government?

[redmenace]

It was there. There was a healthy inherent mistrust or suspicion of government. It is seen in the constitution as well as in the writings of the founding fathers. But as time goes on, the government is doomed to despotism.
