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coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.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.

Don't know if this is true or not, but John McCain would LIKE this site and conservative talk radio to be shut down FOREVER.
I don't think he ever heard of the 1st Amendment.

There are quite a few of us blaming Bush for not vetoing this thing. Read the thread.

No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election. Is this true? I thought the McLame/Feingold bill only dealt with the MSM. The NRA opened up a news internet site just so they could get around the inability to take out ads on TV and radio prior to elections. I'm confused. The NRA website is not shutting down.

freerepublic2.com? yeah that could work but they would have to host it in a foreign country that has freedom of speech enshrined in their constitution so that their Congress can not pass a law abridging it

This is not our president's fault! He cannot remove the FEC members for not conforming to his policy. Congress did not have the courage to fix, so it had to go to the courts. It probably will again to be corrected.

I personally do not find this funny.
I know you don't as well.
Thank you for the illustration of what will occur if this isn't defeated, orchestrated by a sorry excuse for a man a FEW on the board would insist is better than Hillary. Hillary may have wanted to shut down free speech, but she never pulled off what McCain has.
Time for them to wake up, and they can start by contacting their representatives tonight.

Uh huh. I've got absolutely no love for John McCain, but isn't this a bit melodramatic?

If you pull the plug on this place a lot of folks are gonna go nuts, batty, insane even! You have an obligation to the mental health of all those who are addicted to this place. That's not exactly a 100% laughing matter for probably a significant number of folks. Especially when one counts in panic attacks etc.

Thank God. Time to take action before it's not "just a drill."
