Fellow Conservative,
The day has finally come… Ann M. Ravel, a Democrat and Vice Chair at the Federal Election Commission, announced her plans to begin regulating conservative websites and news sources. “A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long over due,” she said.
Here at Conservative Daily, we reach 30-50 THOUSAND people every day just by email alone. Now, I know that we are not your only source for news, but I’ve looked over the proposals and this is a serious threat to the Conservative movement as a whole!
At the heart of this is the Democrats’ desire to dismantle Conservative online news sources and regulate them whenever they support/oppose political candidates. Under the proposed rule change, the FEC would treat political content, like videos, the same as paid political television ads.
This would put us out of business… It would put tons of other Conservative news sources out of business and it must be stopped!
Believe it or not, this is the natural evolution of the Democrat’s War on Free Speech. Harry Reid tried to push through a Constitutional amendment to change the First Amendment and restrict political speech, but that didn’t work. So now, the FEC is doing his bidding!
This all stems from a 2006 FEC ruling on whether a free political video posted online should be regulated the same as paid political advertising. The FEC was split 3-3 on whether an Ohio anti-Obama political campaign violated campaign finance rules when it failed to disclose its finances.
Even though the First Amendment protects the rights of individuals and organizations to engage in political speech, Liberals in the FEC want to restrict and tax anytime someone uses the internet to promote the Conservative agenda!
This is absolutely criminal!
It’s not hard to figure out the natural progression of this. If a free YouTube video can be regulated the same as paid political advertising, then no form of political speech is safe!
These types of regulations don’t make the country safer… they are designed to make it as hard as possible to participate in the political process.
If Liberals in the FEC get their way, we will be out of business… All conservative online news sources will be regulated out of existence!
The only way that these Liberals can win is if they silence their opposition. This is shameful and this scheme must be stopped!
This is straight out of George Orwell’s 1984… The first step towards controlling a population is controlling the news sources they have access to.
Democrats know they can’t win the debate; they know that America cannot physically afford to implement their social engineering programs. All the polling and evidence suggests that the Democrat Party is going to get shellacked in a week and a half when Americans go to the polls.
But instead of changing their platform and adjusting to be more competitive, the Left just wants to control the debate and regulate what information you have access to on a daily basis!
This is one of the greatest threats to the republic that has emerged in my lifetime. If we don’t put a stop to this now, the entire Conservative movement could be dismantled in a matter of weeks.
No more Mark Levin or other Conservative radio shows… no more Fox News commentary… and no more Conservative Daily advocacy alerts to your inbox… This is important! We can put a stop to this right now, but you need to raise your voice and demand it.
But why stop there? What’s to say that the FEC won’t also regulate individual speech?
What’s to say you won’t be silenced because of my political beliefs or be taxed as if your political speech is a paid endorsement?
Harry Reid and Congressional Democrats already tried to push through a Constitutional amendment to limit your freedom of speech. While that may have failed, the FEC has picked up Harry Reid’s torch and decided to run with it.
Without a serious public outcry, Obama’s lackeys in the FEC will roll out these crippling regulations. You MUST raise your voice and force Congress to intervene and stop it!
Fighting for our lives,
Joe Otto
