I guess I wasn't fair to McCain in this case (ie I only clicked the link and didnt read because I had heard of the bill prior...no excuse, my bad).

Hey, guys, I clicked on that link to try to find the text of the amendment, and here's the thing-- I can't find it, but it says that the amendment struck down related to "paid efforts" at grassroots lobbying. So now I'm wondering exactly what the amendment said, and if it really would require all bloggers to register, or only those political ones that take donations. As much as I'm spitting mad at the Dems right now, I have to say, the ones who voted to keep the amendment don't seem like the ones I'd expect to vote for it, so now I'm very curious. Can anyone find the text to the amendment so I can see exactly what it was they were voting on?

Not to say the media can give the wrong impression, but they can.
