Don't count on it. Things don't seem to be "breaking" our way lately.


Depending upon what Congress feels impelled to do they can change the wording of any section of this Act.... so if the Congress Critters feel a need for ads to be run prior to election day critizing candidates they'll rewrite the law....

Ups and downs.....

Yes, Congress could (but won't) change the limit on free speech that this abomination of a law has brought...but the KEY lesson here is that the United States Supreme Court will UPHOLD ATTMEPTS BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO LIMIT FREE SPEECH..and that should send shivers down your spine.

The problem is that incumbent Congress Critters will never feel a need to allow challengers to run ads to criticize them prior to election day. This law strengthens incumbency.
