Congress Preparing To Criminalize Critics?

World Net Daily reports that Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill before the Senate, would require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress, as lobbyists are required.

This is ugly. Those of us who routinely email the House and Senate members face up to 1 year in jail if we don’t register and report quarterly to Congress, as lobbyists are required.
