The commission will consider the report at its Aug. 12 meeting. If the five- member commission orders its staff to propose regula- tions or legal changes it could be months before they take effect, potentially push- ing new rules past this polit- ical season. Campaigns would face the same disclosure rules they do now, such as saying who is behind an ad and who paid for it, but for the first time they would apply to communications on the Internet and other forums. The subcommittee’s rec- ommendations draw a line between paid political activ- ity and unpaid, grassroots volunteer efforts. Political commentary by individuals unconnected to a campaign would not be affected. Nor would sending or forward- ing e-mails, linking to web- sites or creating independent websites. ‘‘People tweeting about someone is typically not something you would regu- late,’’ said Barbara O’Con- nor, professor emeritus of communications and the former director of the Insti- tute for the Study of Politics and Media at California State University, Sacramen- to. ‘‘When it becomes an ad, it’s a different story. When it becomes an ad it really is a replacement for a 30-second spot for a new generation.’’ The recommendations include requiring tweets and texts to link to a website that includes the full disclosures, although some people feel the disclosure should be in the text itself no matter how brief, O’Connor said. She testified before the subcom- mittee but hadn’t seen its report. California Republican Party Vice Chairman Jon Fleischman, who writes the conservative FlashReport blog, told the subcommittee that requiring even one char- acter in a tweet be used for disclosure would be a bur- den on free speech, accord- ing to the report. Bloggers who accept payment to present their opinion in favor of or against a candidate but do not dis- close their ties to a campaign are becoming increasingly common in California, but the report does not recom- mend regulating them — for now. The subcommittee urged bloggers to voluntari- ly disclose on their websites if they are being paid. If that doesn’t work, it said regulators or lawmakers may need to step in. Like California’s current regulations, federal cam- paign watchdogs regulate only paid political advertis- ing, according to the Nation- al Conference of State Leg- islatures.

But in an evening with birthday wishes from a country singer and presentations by reality-TV-contest winners Alex Boylan of “The Amazing Race” and Burton Roberts of “Survivor,” the celebrity high- light may have been a speech by Mike Rowe of the Discovery Chan- nel’s “Dirty Jobs,” a show in which basic kayaking. One racer who needed no briefing was Tom Biglione of Sacramento. He took third place in the family challenge, rid- ing a 25-pound, 18-and-a- half-foot kayak made of carbon fiber and kevlar, a skinny, speedy thing he described as a “skittish race horse.” After 25 years of row- ing, Biglione said the sport trumps all others. “It’s just like dancing Rowe explores the hardest, messiest and least desirable jobs he can find. “You can’t swing a dead cat with- out hitting a Boy Scout,” said Rowe, remarking on the crowd. Rowe, himself an Eagle Scout, said his time as a scout was instru- mental to his success. His first scout meeting left him bruised, bleeding and embarrassed, he said. It was also the first of many lessons in how to find enjoyment in uncomfortable situations. Success is reachable by taking on those things no one else is willing to do, and finding a way to enjoy them, Rowe said.

Scout is Clean...But Not Afraid to Get Dirty,” he called for the creation of a “Dirty Jobs” merit badge and asked scouts to rethink their approach to dirt. The approach was a hit with local scouts. Jimmy Tignor, a 14-year-old scout in Troop 154, said he liked the way Rowe told him not to be afraid of getting dirty. Logan Warnecke, 13, a scout for six years and counting, also singled out Rowe. Rowe was one of the funniest parts of the show, Warnecke said. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailynews.com.
