[ga] US House Adopts New Third-Party Web Site Rules

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Some good news for a change..  But for some Congress critters,
this may be a two edged sword...

See:
 http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20081003_9890.php third-party
websites will no longer be off limits for members of the US House,
provided
that they use it for "official purposes" and not personal, commercial,
or
campaign purposes.  "The rules are seen by House Administration Chairman

Robert Brady as a compromise between several proposals under
consideration
in recent months and are closely aligned with those circulated by the
Senate
Rules Committee last week. [...] 'These new guidelines are a step in the
right
direction for a Congress that has been behind the technological curve
for
too long,' Boehner said. 'By encouraging the use of emerging and
established new media tools, Congress is sending the message that we
want
to speak to citizens, and receive feedback, in the most open and
accessible manner possible.'"

"If the probability be called P; the injury, L; and the burden, B;
liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
