Help: Anyone know what the laws/rules are about using names
on a blog? I would like to use names of public officials, Congressmen and Senators is that legal? What about listing websites? Can you do that?

1. they're public officials

2. Here's a great link for you...

Also, read the DU rules for posting (like in LBN): this is a good place to start. We all respect the 4 paragraph rule.

Be sure to introduce your blog here on DU!
