The End?
This blog currently has nearly 900 registered members and reaches an audience of several thousand people every day. This blog discusses political issues and frequently recommends members and readers contact their government representatives regarding critical legislation. This blog does not have the time or resources to file quarterly reports and a mountain of paperwork to the government on a regular basis. This blog also does not relish the thought of having to pay a $100,000 fine for not submitting aforementioned paperwork.
What does all this mean? It means that if Nancy Pelosi and her cronies in the Democratic Party have their way, this blog will have to shut down. It will also mean the end of Freedom of Speech in America. It will also be the beginning of the end for all freedom loving people in this country. Are you prepared to live in the new Democratic Party controlled police state?

Pelosi Targets Grassroots Freedom of Speech
-- by Amanda B. Carpenter (HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE)House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) (pictured at right) has pledged to take up a lobbying reform proposal that would impose new regulations on speech by grassroots organizations, while providing a loophole in the rules for large corporations and labor unions.
The legislation would make changes to the legal definition of “grassroots lobbying” and require any organization that encourages 500 or more members of the general public to contact their elected representatives to file a report with detailed information about their organization to the government on a quarterly basis.
