Imagine playing devils advocate but lacking the braincells to pull it off.

I expect the people arguing that it's no big deal would agree that requiring people to register their firearms in case they try to shoot the governor is also OK. Right?

"“Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk,” state Senator Jason Brodeur, the bill’s sponsor, said. “They are both professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”"

Lobbyists are talking to government officials, bloggers are talking to the voters.

"Working for a campaign" is probably the ultimate in free speech that needs protecting. Speech is not money, and money is not speech.

republicans are so full of shit about everything. this is why theyre losing the culture war.

I can see the point

If the blogger is secretly working for a campaign against the Florida governor, then that is needs to be tracked for campaign election money issues.

It is just good government oversight

Like the FBI warning social media about Russian propaganda stories
