I wish somebody would quote from the bill because I am having trouble finding anything like that. The main thing bad I am finding is how bureaucratic and red tape laden the reporting requirement for spending are.

You don't see anything about the 60 day cutoff before the election?

Yes. The term 60 days appears several times with regard to when the bill would take effect and how long you have for filing certain paperwork. But as far as restrictions I only see this
referring to 1 or more clearly identified candidates in a paid advertisement that is broadcast by a radio broadcast station or a television broadcast station within 60 calendar days preceding the date of an election of the candidate and that appears in the State in which the election is occurring, except that with respect to a candidate for the office of Vice President or President, the time period is within 60 calendar days preceding the date of a general election; or
That is clearly about limit spending, not speech. Maybe there is more and I am missing it.
