Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Is this a serious post? I did not think you were endorsing any candidates, only offering a forum for discussion of ideas and such. How would CFR apply to you?

We can write in code, like resistance fighters.

Why is anyone surprised? The Republic as we knew it ceased to exist sometime in the last 40 years. We now have a federal court system that has declared sodomy a civil right, but thinks that limits on the rights of political speech are A-OK.
Are any of you other frogs noticing that the water is getting a tad hot?
