The infallible Fox News reports that FEC Vice-Chair Ann Ravel is calling
for investigation of youtube videos without disclaimers. Tactically I may
be making a mistake posting this on a Friday night, but I just caught the
article.

To me this ties in with her recent request for comments on the
disclosure/disclaimer issues. I thought we settled this ten years ago with
the "hands off the internet" campaign, but even I will admit that there are
some adjustments to be made in light of CU, superpacs, etc.

I encourage members of this list who do submit comments to copy them to the
list for discussion purposes.
I think both the pro and con factions are well represented here. Perhaps
someone could draft a proposed joint statement that some of us would want
to sign on to.
