Will the Revolution Be Regulated?
The Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and the Center for Democracy & Technology will host a legal briefing on the issues at stake in the Federal Election Commission's proposed rulemaking on Internet communications. Three nationally recognized experts in campaign finance law will explain how the FEC's proposed Internet rules will affect bloggers, political activists, parties, political committees, corporations and unions, with particular emphasis on the blogging community.
The panelists will field questions submitted by the Internet community, so be sure to submit yours at this e-mail.
Bloggers are encouraged to "live blog" the event. Internet access for a limited number of bloggers will be provided, and a section of event seats will be reserved for bloggers. If you are considering live blogging the event and would like to reserve a seat, and if you will allow a link to your site, please respond with an e-mail.
The event will take place on Wednesday, May 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the George Washington University campus (805 21st St., Room B07, the basement of the Media & Public Affairs Building at the corner of 21st and H NW). The discussion will be filmed, and video footage will be archived and made available for download from the Institute's web site.
