BLOGER'S BEWARE: The City of Kyle is Watching!

OK, its been a few days since I lasted posted. I hope you have had a chance to read the article below. Here are a few links for some additional background view here and here
For the record, Wesly Mau assistant D.A. Republican was just defeated by Democrat Tibbe.

It seems to me that the City of Kyle and the Hays County D.A's office have gone more than just a little bit overboard. My main concern is over the investigation of a blog. Free speech is the right of everyone in this country. While I have not had an opportunity to see an print copy of the news letter, I have seen the blog. I don't think that a blog constitutes a campaign expenditure, for if it did, then anyone who endorses a candidate over the Internet should look over their shoulders. Yes indeed, Bloggers Beware!

As for the $800.00, reported in the article, this could constitute a problem. Anyone spending money in an election should remember a few important words, "vote for" and "vote against". If you can avoid these magic words then it is an issue ad and not subject to the same rules.

It seems odd to me that the city would expend nearly twenty five times the amount in question, $800.00, to investigate this issue. I don't know what the over all cost is, but in the grand scheme of things, it just doesn't look good for Kyle and Hays County. This is especially so when you take into consideration that the City of Kyle (it would appear) was taken to the tune of forty thousand dollars by the organizers of Thunderpalooza and is currently being sued by the NAACP.
