The Federal Elections Commission has decided that we can all remain loose cannons. In a 6-0 ruling the commission decided that campaign finance laws will apply only to paid online advertising, and not individuals.

The decision means that bloggers and online publications will not be covered by provisions of the new election law. Internet bloggers and individuals will therefore be able to use the Internet to attack or support federal candidates without running afoul of campaign spending and contribution limits.

I loves me some attacking federal candidates.
