[Miss Marple]

Having looked at the law, I do not see anything that prevents direct mailing of videotapes. Perhaps sending a free copy of Terminator III to targeted groups with messages from the President and Arnold are possible.

Books with CD's (like Ollie North's War Stories book are possible.

Direct mailings of calendars are possible.

I can think of a lot of other things that are possible within the confines of the law.

I actually thought that Bush would veto this, but I was wrong. Although I don't agree, I do understand why he didn't (Daschle was running the Senate and threatening to hold up all legislation).

So, it is up to us to think of how to get our message out, and it is also up to us to convince enough people that this law is bad and should be changed.

(Daschle was running the Senate and threatening to hold up all legislation).

Exactly. It was the first piece of legislation Little Tommy brought to the floor after Jeffords jumped.

Wonder why?

How dare you have a positive attitude on FR. You traitor.

To all lurkers, the above non-italicized passage is meant as sarcasm, not to Miss Marple, but to the posters on FR, from reading their posts on this thread who are acting as if the Sun has burnned out.

So what?

If Bush had vetoed McCain-Feingold in April of 2002, the veto would have been sustained. Daschle was going to do nothing for a year and a half?

That bluff should have been called.

School bully: "Gimmie your lunch money!"

Little Johnny: "No!!! I can't!!! If I give you my lunch money then I won't be able to eat my lunch. WAH!!!"

School bully "Gimmie your lunch money or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Little Johnny:"NO!!!! WAH!!!!!WAH!!!!"

School Bully: "Gimmie your lunch money or I'll beat you to a pulp today, tomorrow, and for the rest of the school year!"

Little Johnny:"OK!OK! Now leave me alone! Leave me alone!"

A president who will risk life and limb going to Iraq on thanksgiving, but didn't standup to the short and stubby obstructionist bully from South Dakota. I'm beginning to wonder about the motive and intent of whoever is calling the shots in the WH.

Why do we have to think of new and better ways to get our message out? I thought this was a "free" country, as in Free Speech! Just exactly who am I hurting by saying "Congressman X is a scumbag." on TV? Oh yeah, I'm hurting the senses of all those Soccer Mommies, that just don't want to hear people argue. Oh it hurts the ears so!

"I actually thought that Bush would veto this, but I was wrong. Although I don't agree, I do understand why he didn't (Daschle was running the Senate and threatening to hold up all legislation)."

Bush is the position to point out such tatics and make a plea the people. Something he has only done for purposes of war. If he really cared about all that is right then he would have done so. Of course he also would not have sealed the borders and refused unconstitution portions of the patriot act. He did not do so.
