a small group of lke minded inviduals buying an ad? give me a break. In almost all cases Ads are bought by large groups.

Those large groups -- viz. the 241-chapter, 77,000- contributor Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life -- are made up of small people like me and my wife who typically make contributions of approximately $20-30. And what Court is now legitimately and constitutionally going to tell us that MCCL can't publish the Democratic candidate's voting record on partial-birth abortion bills, no matter how close to the election that documented information is disseminated?

We just can't make an ad for our "friendly" congresscritter at certain times to "help their effort."

And that's an arbitrary, whimsical abrogation of First Amendment freedom.

Once the United States Constitution is no longer a legitimate document, the "court" that will do the rest of the dismantling of our once great Republic will assuredly be those in post #25 . .
