I received this post from the Free Speach Coalition today:
FSC Members and Friends --
ACTION TIME
- The Pelosi team has carefully hidden their plans for regulating grassroots lobbying.
After many weeks of secretive planning with selected outside supporting groups, they now have sprung their new bill, H. R. 2093. It was introduced on May 1st and is expected to be marked up in the House Judiciary Committee by May 11th, and on the House floor for a vote by May 18th.
This bill does not do what they say it will do and is just as unconstitutional as the grassroots lobbying section we successfully knocked out of S. 1 back in January. The House has made some cosmetic changes so they can claim it is not the same as S. 1, but do not believe them. The same constitutional principles apply.
ACT NOW!
- Attached are some talking points and the FSC’s constitutional analysis to assist you.
Please use every contact channel available to you. House Members need to know that there are many voters who cherish their constitutional rights and will not take lightly any legislation which abrogates those rights.

An update from the FSC:
FSC Friends and Members --
Round 1 in the House goes to the good guys.
The Meehan amendment that would have added grassroots lobbying
regulation to the lobbying reform bill (H.R. 2316) was voted down by
voice vote in the House Judiciary Committee earlier today.
This does not mean the battle is over.
Congressman Meehan will try to bring this to a vote on the House
floor, or even in conference committee.
Remember, Congressman Meehan resigns from Congress on July 1 to
become chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. Dick Dingman
