You realize, I hope, that the founders DID NOT campaign nor run ads attacking their opponents.

Are you kidding? If anything, campaigns were even more vicious in the early 19th century than they are today. The invective thrown back and forth between the party newspapers would make your jaw drop.

Congress has the right to regulate elections, but not free speech. That is what this bill is about.

Since you quoted me I would have hoped you understood the quote. Nothing in there supports your contention that anything to contradict your statement was said by me. Reread it again more carefully.
