Reproducing Candidate Prepared Materials. FEC Prop. Part II.

You may find the FEC proposal here.


Is another point under consideration for regulation.

This is found page 24 (lines 15-21) through page 25 (lines 1-19). What they are talking about is when a blogger, a webmaster, or an e-mailer takes a public communication (something explicitly covered by CFR rules and regulations) and reproduces it or re-distributes it or links to it. They note Senator Feingold has expressed that his intention in sponsoring the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (BCRA) was not to regulate such activities.

It is apparent the FEC believes such communications could very well fall under the scope of regulation otherwise why ask about it?
