Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...

It would be easy to ask, what part of "Congress hall make no law..." do members of congress and President Bush not understand?

The fact is, they do understand what it means and chose to disregard its meaning and disregard their oaths to uphold the constitution by passing McCain-Feingold CFR. Their intent was to violate the constitution and their oaths to uphold it.

They got away with those crimes -- sort of -- now they want to commit others in similar fashion.

Each and every member of congress will be held accountable for their vote on McCain-Feingold and H.R. 1606
