This bill was about a whole lot more than free speech, it adressed Union Dues being used to support the DNC even though the Union Members and contributors of those Union Dues had no choice of how their contributions were being used.

It addressed soft money donations from groups that could easily hide straw donors from foriegn countries (Remember John Riady)

And raising the limit on individual contributions from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 and Household contributions from 2 to 4 thousand

Union dues should be addressed differently. And it is just as wrong to limit my contribution to 2000 bucks as it was to 1000 bucks. The principle is the same. It isn't the governments business who I support politically. The funny thing is that these laws still limit people like me while the Soros's, Fonda's, Turner's and Rockefeller's of the world can spend money without limit through their tax exempt front organizations.

You seem reasonable. Do you really think that this law would limit them or me most?
