Trickle-Down Despotism
That's what Mark Tapscott calls a San Francisco proposal to require registration of local bloggers with the City's ethics commission. Michael Bassik writes:
Blogs that mention candidates for local office that receive more than 500 hits will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits...Hmm.
With the 60-day public comment period for the proposed FEC rule changes to begin April 4th, I'm not inclined to brush this story aside. Be sure to check RedState for updates on the FEC.
Related, but unrelated - the American Federalist Journal is a resource worth checking out. The site provides a peak at the lead paragraph of columns written from a fine group of conservative thinkers. It also maintains one heck of a blogroll ;-).

I live in Connecticut.
If you want something put on a weblog email it to me. I'll post it on my site. They can shove their registration.
Do they have no clue that there really is no such thing as a local blogger?

They also have a new blog, yet Stones Cry Out has yet to link to it on their site. One can only hope they have comment notification turned on, and will recognize and carry out their Christian duty. :)
