Slashdot | Bill to Treat Bloggers as Lobbyists Defeated
by Decius at 12:43 pm EST, Jan 19, 2007

The attempt to require political bloggers to register as lobbyists previously reported by MemeStreams has been stripped out of the lobbying reform bill. The vote was 55 to 43 to defeat the provision. All 48 Republicans, as well as 7 Democrats, voted against requiring bloggers to register; all 43 votes in favor of keeping the registration provision were by Democrats.

Thank God. I tell you, the older I get, the more I see that (R) starting to appear next to my name on the ballot.
