"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,                                                            is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

INTRODUCTION

The Government Document Library provides direct links to PDF files of the 1000+ documents offered through the
Download For Democracy campaign's P2P component (click here for BitTorrent links).  Since late March, over 3 million pages of government documents have been downloaded from outragedmoderates.org via P2P.

The documents are grouped by the topics used in the Four Things America Agrees On section, along with categories for documents related to 9/11 attacks and campaign finance, and a miscellaneous category.  A number of the documents listed have been covered in this site's document analysis posts.

In some cases, the document title given is an abbreviation of the document's full title, or is a new title designed to better identify the document's contents.  This document title matches the filename used for the document on the P2P networks.  Whenever possible, the source link given is to a specific article or description which provides context for the document.

The Download For Democracy campaign was
cited by two amici curiae briefs submitted to the Supreme Court regarding the MGM v. Grokster case.  Click here for more information on the Grokster case, including BitTorrent files containing Grokster and Betamax court documents.  Finally, click here to download a PowerPoint presentation about the Download For Democracy campaign.

Disclaimer regarding outragedmoderates.org's no-cost distribution of political committee reports:

Under Title 11, Part 104.15 of the Code of Federal Regulations, information from political committee reports may not "be sold or used by any person for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for any commercial purpose, except that the name and address of any political committee may be used to solicit contributions from such committee."  11 CFR 104.15(a) [Legal Information Institute

There is an exception to this restriction for the "use of information, which is copied or otherwise obtained from reports filed under 11 CFR part 104, in newspapers, magazines, books or other similar communications is permissible as long as the principal purpose of such communications is not to communicate any contributor information listed on such reports for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for other commercial purposes."  11 CFR 104.15(c) [Legal Information Institute]
   
outragedmoderates.org believes that the distribution of political committee reports over the internet, at no cost, is permissive under 11 CFR 104.15(a).  The site does not use information from reports to solicit contributions, does not charge users any fee in exchange for information in the reports, and does not accept advertising revenue or cash donations.  Thus, outragedmoderates.org believes that the free distribution of the reports through the Download For Democracy campaign should not be deemed as using the reports for a commercial purpose.

In the alternative, even if it could be argued that outragedmoderates.org's use of information in the reports is commercial in nature, the website should be protected as part of the "newspapers, magazines, books or other similar communications" designation, which is exempted from restrictions under 11 CFR 104.15(c), as long as the principal purpose of the communication is not soliciting contributions or other commercial activity. 

FEC Advisory Opinion 1986-25 clarifies that the statute's "other similar communications" clause includes "news stories, commentaries, and editorials."  [FEC.gov]  Political information websites like outragedmoderates.org should fall into this category, as they provide a combination of news and commentary.  The Download For Democracy campaign's principal purpose is to provide "ways for citizens to access government documents," and not to use the documents in any form of commercial activity.  Considering the informational nature of the site, and the Download For Democracy campaign's stated purpose of providing access to government documents, outragedmoderates.org believes this use of reports by political committees is permissive under 11 CFR 104.15(c).
