Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed

vvaduva writes "Florida Rep. Alan Grayson wants to see one of his critics go directly to jail, all over her use of the word 'my' on her blog. In a four-page letter sent to [US Attorney General Eric] Holder, Grayson accuses blogger Angie Langley of lying to federal elections officials and requests that she be fined and imprisoned for five years. Her lie, according to Grayson, is that she claims to be one of his constituents. Langley, Grayson says, is misrepresenting herself by using the term 'my' in the Web site's name."

It's political speech aimed at fund raising. There are laws that govern that.

She's a former republican party official trying to raise funds to unseat Grayson.

Unfortunately, she is doing it in a fraudulent way which could be in violation of the law and land her in jail.

It's a pity when facts get in the way.
