Which candidate will defend my free speech rights?

I agree.

First hard money is banned, beyond ridiculously small amounts. Then soft money to parties is banned. Now they want the private groups to be quiet, too. The next step is that no one spends a dime on political speech except the Official Incumbent Reelection Politburo.

This may be a shortterm tactical winner, but signing on to leftist monstrosities like "campaign finance reform" is a longterm loser.

Exactly. And it has never really been about money in politics. If it were then they would also gripe when politicians use tax dollars to bride the public. It has always been about silencing critics.
