Recently there has been a lot of worry over the FEC "cracking down" on bloggers. The claim is that linking to a candidate site, talking about a candidate in any meaningful form, or hosting ads would be considered an in kind contribution and therefore could be regulated.

There is doubt as to how real this is... but the blogosphere is on the job already. There is an online petition you can sign here. If free speech rights concern you, stop by and add your name to the list.
