Since 2005, the FEC has explicitly committed to trying to keep its hands off of online speech that is free or low-cost—like YouTube videos that discuss political issues and candidates. But all that could change.

FEC Commissioner Ann Ravel appears to support overhauling the regulations around online speech. This could have a huge impact on free and low-cost online political speech, especially if new regulations place complicated and burdensome record-keeping and disclosure requirements on bloggers, YouTube posters, or other online speakers, including those who post anonymously.

We have a chance to speak out. The Commission is accepting comments on whether or not to develop new Internet rules. Help us stop the FEC from adopting rules that threaten free speech and privacy. Use the text suggested below to submit comments to the Commission today. Comments are due on Thursday, January 15, 2015.
