"When leading politicians and the Supreme Court favor restricting peaceful political speech, it is clear that the Republic is dead and that those in power have no other interest beyond protecting their own power."

I disagree, the republic may be on life support today, but it is NOT dead. There are things we can do:
a) Write your Senators early and often and DEMAND that the first order of business of the new Congress next year is to repeal this odious POS law in its entirety.
b) Start writing President Bush and letting him know that if he does not begin applying pressure to have this law repealed first thing next year, there won't be an election in '04.
c) Withold any and all political contributions to any political party. This POS law had bipartisan support, it can get a bipartisan response from the voters.

We can (and will) take our country back and get this administration back on track. Many of us on this forum have expressed support for Bush but have also been dismayed by some of his decisions. Well, folks, the time for talk is over. It's time to act. Our very freedoms are at stake and the stakes could NOT be higher. We need to begin protesting EVERY political appearance and witholding every dime of political contribution to drive home our point.

Remember what Rush said about the SC's ruling: WE are responsible for corrupting our politicians by donating to their campaigns. If WE are responsible for it (and not the politicians) then WE need to make sure that they remain pure as the driven snow by NOT contributing to their campaigns.

By making this ruling, the SC has also violated the first rule of our system of government: innocent until proven guilty. In essence, by implying that WE are the cause of political corruption, the SC has tried and convicted us all. This is as repugnant as the ruling that limits our free speech rights.

If WE do nothing to force this law to be repealed, then we deserve what we get. A conservative at any price, if he brings with him a loss of freedom, is NOT worth the price. I like Bush as much as the next person here but, in light of some of his decisions (TSA, Dept. Homeland Security, CFR, steel tariffs, agriculture spending, medicare prescription bill, education bill) we may need to consider that, in Bush, we have a wolf in sheep's clothing. I also agree that in order to get Bush's attention, we might need someone like Rush to run as an alternative Candidate to Bush and shake him up.

If we take no action at all, Congress will be emboldened to write more laws like CFR that erode our freedoms.

Welcome to Cuba, ladies and gentlemen. Today is the first day of the rest of our lives in a 3,000 mile wide gulag.
