Bloggers Let Texas State Rep Have It…

A couple weeks ago I mentioned a prefiled bill in the Texas Senate that would extend Texas libel laws to blogs. Bloggers have been attacking State Representative Vicki Truitt (R-Keller) ever since. They feel the bill is too broad and they let Truitt know that in no uncertain terms. This article appeared in today’s Fort Worth Star-Telegram — looks like Truitt is revising the bill to exclude bloggers. This is a good example of the impact bloggers can have on legislation. Look for this to heat up as we get closer to our next elections.
