The Next Blogger Project?
There is currently a bill in the Senate being held up by Senator Trent Lott. It would require Senate candidates to file electronically with the FEC. Danny Glover of the Beltway Blogroll quotes Captain Ed:
Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters was first out of the gate in arguing that the blogosphere's next bipartisan demand should be forcing Senate candidates to file electronically, just as House and presidential candidates already do.
"For some reason, Trent Lott and a number of our elected representatives in the Senate want to keep us from accessing that information in a timely manner," Morrissey wrote. "Usually that means they either have something to hide or see the clunky, slow process currently in use as a hedge for their incumbency. We need to remind them that they serve at our pleasure, and that playing games with full disclosure does not please us in the least."
