I'm also a strong proponent of resisting overreach by the government, but this case is not it.
Remember how I said "What is it about Republicans and LYING??"
Well thanks to your pushing, I went to find the source.
When I googled "Ohio anti-President Obama Internet campaign" I was swamped with page after page of right wing nuttery websites. No info there..
Don't you think it odd that none of those websites actually posted the public document proposal.. That's really odd isn't it. Well it would be if they weren't all lying sons of bitches..
Here's the actual proposal, it's not about the videos AT ALL! it's about paying people to post them and other things on the internet. If you work for a campaign then you have to record their salaries.

I wanted to post sections of it but the PDF is locked. You'll have to read it yourself, it's very short.
I'm going to guess that your unclear google search terms led you down the path of nuttiness, in particular the inclusion of the irrelevant phrase "anti-Obama" -- such language is bound to turn up birthers, racists, and other dipshits.
As for what you've linked, that appears to be a different matter, and not "the source" at all. The document you're looking for is actually in the OP's link. Forgive my assumption that you had already read it. Clearly you haven't.
Nothing in there proposes to protect the individual video producer from producing his own video and sharing it gratis with others. Just because something is "slickly produced" doesn't mean that it has been financed by an outside agent; software packages for audio and video production are nowadays very sophisticated and can produce professional results with a little time and practice.
It is that broad commission which would conceivably include private producers who make their own productions to air and share their own views that I find disturbing.
