Yesterday’s Daily Caller<\/a>\u00a0posted an article showing the power of the Internet and the new media. (Note: I suspect what happened in this case is the result of the fact that it is an election year.)<\/p>\n

On Wednesday I posted an article about new farm regulations which will severely limit the activities of\u00a0children\u00a0on the family farm (rightwinggranny<\/a>). I wasn’t the only one who was concerned about the regulations–the Daily Caller article I sourced made it to facebook, the Drudge Report, and other social media.<\/p>\n

The results:<\/p>\n

Under pressure from farming advocates in rural communities, and following a report<\/a> by The Daily Caller, the Obama administration\u00a0withdrew<\/a> a proposed rule Thursday that would have applied child labor laws to family farms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Score one for the good guys! However, don’t get too confident. If Obama wins a second term and has more flexibility in his policies (as he told\u00a0Russian leader Dmitri Medvedev recently), these regulations may magically reappear.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we can celebrate at least a temporary victory.<\/p>\n
