Big news and you know what else this might be the begin­ning of offi­cial cen­sor­ship.

What does this mean for the great­ly dis­hon­est media?

One thing seems clear there are peo­ple begin­ning to exam­ine the process of how the media dis­sem­i­nate cov­er­age even if its not exact­ly sane or even legal.

First though lets have a look at what the FEC actu­al­ly is, I know you prob­a­bly did not even real­ize there is a FEC, because at first it just sounds like most any oth­er three let­ter gov­ern­ment agency, you know like the EPC, the SEC, ABC, NBC, opps, got car­ried away with sar­casm for a sec­ond there.

With all Seri­ous­ness the Fed­er­al Elec­tion Com­mis­sion is an orga­ni­za­tion that is charged with (among oth­er things)

to admin­is­ter and enforce the Fed­er­al Elec­tion Cam­paign Act (FECA) — the statute that gov­erns the financ­ing of fed­er­al elec­tions.

You might be think­ing the same thing that mil­lions of oth­er amer­i­cans are think­ing right now, “Err, what does that  have to do with ban­ning Fox news and oth­er media out­lets from report­ing on elec­tions?

Well, try as we may, we can’t either, look­ing at what they are and what they should be doing we can’t see where they have the author­i­ty to do such a thing in the first place but why should that stop them there are plen­ty of oth­er three let­ter or four let­ter gov­ern­ment agen­cies that seem to make things up as they go along as well and con­gress does noth­ing to stop them either.

So offi­cial­ly (see source link above)

In 1975, Congress created the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to administer and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) — the statute that governs the financing of federal elections. The duties of the FEC, which is an independent regulatory agency, are to disclose campaign finance information, to enforce the provisions of the law such as the limits and prohibitions on contributions, and to oversee the public funding of Presidential elections.

The Commission is made up of six members, who are  appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Each member serves a six-year term, and two seats are subject to appointment every two years. By law, no more than three Commissioners can be members of the same political party, and at least four votes are required for any official Commission action. This structure was created to encourage nonpartisan decisions. The Chairmanship of the Commission rotates among the members each year, with no member serving as Chairman more than once during his or her term.

It real­ly is sus­pect and polit­i­cal­ly incor­rect, sor­ry could not help that last wise crack.

being entire­ly seri­ous (if thats pos­si­ble) is there any­thing that democ­rats will not try to do to the amer­i­can peo­ple as a whole in the name of doing some­thing they think is impor­tant?

Amer­i­cans are so tired of all of this garbage all the while con­gress and Wash­ing­ton are fail­ing to do the peo­ples busi­ness.

Makes you won­der just how dys­func­tion­al Wash­ing­ton has become and also it makes you think that we all have to vote in Novem­ber because we can­not afford to keep going the way we have been going, Amer­i­ca must have change (Real Change) If we are to con­tin­ue as a nation.

We have to vote and we have to make sure that our friends are vot­ing.

Vote 2016 because if you sit on the couch you may just end up wish­ing you had vot­ed.
