So, if I'm reading this correctly, if you "permit" any telecommunications as a second party, then you can be arrested as well...so this would affect the person "annoying" the person and possibly the person allowing the "annoyance" to happen, i.e. a forum or website.

But in all seriousness this law hurts like a kick in the pants because the potential for abuse is so freakin' high.

I bet the ATS mods and super mods are responsible for this law. They probably all chipped in a bought a ninja lobbyist to sneak this little trojan into the business of the day down in Washington.

question for you seeka...do you not think that FDR, who led us through the great depression and wwII, would have been impeached for the blatantly unconstitutional programs he set up if he had to deal with todays instant live media broadcasts and internet information outlets? the man basically took our country out of the sewer of the 1930's and made our country (for better or worse) what it is today, and yet he broke numerous laws to do it. illegal wire taps, herding american citizens into camps for fear of insurgent activities in the US, setting up socialist programs to rebuild the country and give work to the people. i know we will never agree on the issue of bush's leadership, but i think that in ten or fifteen years, the history books will show that most of what he has done was for the good of the people. i could always be wrong, but only time will tell.

Nice try with the diversion...
Please explain to me how sending people to prison for annoying someone on the internet protects us from Al-CIAda or whatever Arab boogeyman is going to blow us up next? How does that contribute to bettering America?
It is naive to assume that tyrants appear only in other nations and that somehow America is immune simply because we're Americans. America has escaped the clutches of a dictatorship thus far only through the efforts of those citizens who, unlike the Germans of the 1930s, have the moral courage to stand up and point out where the government is lying to the people.
Like the Germans of 1930s Germany we see Der Fuhrer trying to distract the populace from the self-serving choices the government makes by creating a war with lies and deceptions, yet stay silent, less we be accused of being traitors to the national security. We voice our outrage when a rock star bares her breast at a sporting event, because rock stars cannot after all hurt us, raise our taxes, or conscript our children to be crippled or killed in wars. But we remain silent, or at best speak in hushed tones with a trusted few of our concerns about the government, which does hurt us, which does raise our taxes, and which has and continues to conscript our children to be crippled or killed in wars.
We are damned by our silence. We are damned by our inaction. We are damned by our fear to speak out. We are damned by our weakness. We are damned by being sheep under a government of wolves.
