Political bloggers forced to list as lobbyists?

Rather concerning news story at news.com suggesting that US regulators are looking to introduce legislation to force bloggers that make money from their blog to list as official lobbyists:
"One section says that certain political bloggers who make or spend $25,000 per quarter and who encourage readers to contact their elected representatives would be forced to register as lobbyists--or face up to 10 years in prison."
I wonder what impact this might have to the constitution rights to free speech.
