Congressional Website updates

2004-09-05 19:56:56.217802+02 by petronius 0 comments

Think you have problems keeping your websites up to date? According to the relevant sections (scroll down to Section C, Paragraph 1) of the McCain-Feingold act, Congressfolk are restricted as to the types of updates permissible on their own websites, due to the 60-day silent period on unrestricted political advertising before the election. They can make "technical corrections", add press releases, or reprint material already in the Congressional records. Unless, of course, if they are runing unopposed, when the sky's the limit.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
