Free Speech and the First Amendment will be tossed aside if HB 142 passes. The GOP in Georgia has evidently gone mad. From the article and observing the less than 50% rule: The proposed law requires that any citizen who influences a legislator regarding legislation is a lobbyist subject to a fee of over $300 and stringent reporting requirements. This has few exceptions. In effect, these provisions take away every Georgian’s First Amendment Constitutional Right to petition their government officials throwing it out the window. The proposed law requires that private, unpaid citizens who would never consider themselves “lobbyists” must pay over $300 and subject themselves to stringent reporting requirements and bureaucracy if they wish to communicate or even “influence” any elected official other than one from their own House or Senate district. In practical terms, that means if you, as a concerned citizen, really want a bill to pass or fail, and its passage depends on a Senate or House member from a neighboring district, you either pay over $300 and register as a lobbyist just to be able to communicate with them, or you better keep your mouth shut and let the legislature pass whatever they want without your input.
