Congressman Billybob has also been advocating legislation limiting to repealing the ad provision. He may be interested in your idea.

Since the Democrats have been expressing misgivings about CFR since the Supreme Court upheld (even if their misgivings spring from partisan considerations,) I do not think repeal of this one provision is a lost cause.

To judge by the cover article in the current Human Events< Speaker Hastert might be won over to the idea of such a repeal, which might mean the House leadership could make sure it got to the floor. But without some Democratic support, the Democrats could always filibuster it in the Senate.

Fine.

Let the Senate democrats go specifically on the record filibustering a specific law restoring JUST the free-speech limits of McCain Feingold.

Sure, they'll lie. They always have. They'll probably claim they are "preventing" corporate money, or lobbyists, or hate-speech from coming into the political process, but force them back on the record.

For that matter, force Bush to go on the record opposing some means to restore free speech!
