CDT Expands Campaign to Keep Online Political Speech Free of Regulation - CDT is urging bloggers and other Internet users to sign a set of principles calling on Congress and the Federal Elections Commission to keep burdensome federal campaign finance laws from hindering the online political speech of individuals. The principles, developed in collaboration with the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet (IPDI) of George Washington University, respond to a recent proposal by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that considers extension of burdensome campaign finance laws to the Internet. CDT and IPDI have launched a web site to promote the principles and to allow bloggers and other users to educate the FEC on the diversity of independent political commentary online. May 12, 2005
