This situation is worse than I thought. We all have to get cracking on this issue and defend our 1st amendment rights.
Another violation of our 1st amendment rights these clowns are trying to take away.
It's the liberals' fault, they wanted this stupid, unconstitutional law, and now they've ruined it for both us and them.
action called for

what is the bill # and who is the sponsor(s)?

Get the emails off to your Senators and Representatives!
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Screw the MSM, the horse they rode in on, and the monopoly on information that McCain is trying to give them. The MSM is NOT a constituency.
BUMP

My blog is mine. It is the Internet-accessable expression of my Constitutional right, recognized by the First Amendment. Free Republic is the same.
No legislation is needed. Indeed, any legislation to "protect" my right to speak is probably itself Unconstitutional.
I am not about to file any @#$@#$ reports to the #$@$ Federal Government about my First Amendment rights.
This is why i will never, EVER vote for mccain. I don't give a damn if hillary is his opponent, i will never vote for this free speech limiting ego maniac.

I like Jim Rob's take on it.
This is revolting. Corrupt politicians and the dino media tired of being exposed as total frauds, so why not just snip away at that pesky first amendment (after nonstop attempts to destroy the 2nd)? This is a huge wake-up call.
This is a bluff. They're going after money in the form of taxation. They want to tax us into silence.
Term Limits
I must be having a bad dream. 30 day shutdown? What's next, no free speech on the web. THIS IS BULL CRAP!

John McCain Gets Soros Cash
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1360852/posts
Senator John McCain's Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.
Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform" movement – a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.
Now here's the kicker. The list of donors published on the Reform Institute's Web site reads like a veritable Who's Who of radical, leftwing foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Proteus Fund and George Soros' Open Society Institute. (hat tip, Winfield Myers)
Not surprisingly, in view of the above associations, Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute's Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros' "campaign finance reform" efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act. George Soros shouldered about one third of the cost of the Shadow Conventions.
