Sen. Ted Cruz: These are the Fahrenheit 451 Democrats (Proposal-Repeal Free Speech)
http://www.youtube.com/ ^ | July 10, 2014 | SenTedCruz

Posted on 07/10/2014 9:00:29 PM PDT by Whenifhow

Mr. Chairman, this is the single most radical and most dangerous proposal introduced in the 113th congress.

If this proposal were adopted, it would repeal the free speech protections of the first amendment.

The breadth of this proposal is astonishing. It should lead the evening news on every station.

It saddens me that 46 democratic senators have signed their name to a constitutional amendment expressly repealing the free speech provisions of the Bill of Rights.

Ted Cruz continues....

One thing I think we all know is when the communists (aka) democrats, propose anything they don’t give up until they get what they want.

Republicans on the other hand sit quietly, passively by and observe and in so many cases, take notes so as to ask dems how they can help. (although on occasion they feign outrage, it is mostly a circus dog and pony show)IMO!

I am thankful for Cruz, and a few others who do all they can to fight both parties on the front lines and in their face.

Text of the proposed amendment(PDF)

It gives Congress (who will likely delegate the power to the FEC) the power to regulate how campaign funds (and "in-kind equivalents") are raised, how much funding can be raised, and how it may be spent.

It will mean that Dem incumbents will NEVER be voted out of office.

The original intent of the First Amendment was to protect POLITICAL speech, not obscenity or artistic endeavors. The problem is that the intent of the First Amendment has been inverted by modernist judges.

My understanding is that this proposal is so bad, the ACLU is actively fighting against it.

Duh, gee, bramps, maybe because he didn’t know what had happened ?

Omniscience is not a characteristic of even the best humans. Maybe you should sponsor God as a candidate. He’s the only one that seems to fit your demands.

He just happened to catch the stories about possible voter fraud but missed the one’s about McDaniel being portrayed as a racist?

>> Why would any conservative with integrity congratulate a candidate

You’re incorrectly parsing political language.

Ted Cruz congratulated him and scolded the GOP for possible voter fraud but SAID NOTHING about the Cochran campaign using disgusting tactics to beat McDaniel. Mark Levin cowered the other night and didn’t ask Cruz why he congratulated a scumbag like Cochran. So why don’t you (whom I guessing would label me a troll) answer?

Why would any conservative with integrity congratulate a candidate who allowed his campaign to brand a good man as a racist in order to win an election?
