Repeal McCain-Feingold!
FEC’s coordination ruling could shake up the midterms
Here is the details of the bill if anyone would like to review before firing off their letters.

BTTT!!
Congress should grow a spine and censor the true enemies of the U.S., the press.
Given that McCain-Feingold should not exist at all...
Is it me or does the Left abuse the 527's much more than the right and the Swifties? It seems that this action would hamper the Left much more than the Right.
This is aimed at keeping the Vietnam vets from "Swift Boating" McCain like they did Kerry.
The cure for a lack of free speech is not to restrict it further.
Censorship is anti freedom. No matter who is being censored.
Congress shall pass no law abridging freedom of speech or the press (except 60 days before an election, then congress can pass laws that abridge anything they damn well please, heck lets suspend habeas corpus and allow cruel and unusual punishments 60 days before an election too).
The Dems obviously have a plan to circumvent this if it is put into law just like they had with the original CFR.
Yes it is, restrict the freedoms of those who seek to restict OUR FREEDOMS!!
It's a matter of self-defense. The leftist press wants us U.S. citizens dead and they will do anything in their power/freedoms to do so.
Don't you see the leftist press are traitors. They support the mexican invasion of the U.S. They support bankrupting higher taxes and more regulations to destory us with. They support third world tyrants (Iran, North Korea), so these tyrants have the time to develope nukes to be used to kill us U.S. citizens.
The left press wants us U.S. citizens dead. So we must does everything in our power to stop them. If that means taking about their voices and pen through censoring them, then it will be worth it.
The Constitution is meaningless to the ruling political class now.
Thanks for the link!
That's my overall impression. I would use the word 'use' not 'abuse', but the left raised 3 - 4 times more money using 527s. Check the links in comment 1. Repeal McCain - Feingold!
The traitors in Congress ignore us. Better to spend our time writing to SCOTUS and demonstrating in the streets. Do you honestly believe Congress cares about us and the nation? Have you kept up with current events? We need to change our tactics.
Instead of pleading to Reps, we should be in the streets voicing outrage at our Reps, or getting some neighbors and friends to go to our local Reps office and raising hell. That will gain far more traction that writing a letter to a traitor.
Not if we are loud enough. Why do you think both Clinton and Schumer supported arming commercial airline pilots? You can't name bigger gun grabbers!
I believe it's true that 527's help the left more than the right, so if the law were applied in a neutral fashion, your premise would be correct.
But, when was the last time you saw any liberal brought to task for breaking any law? In practice, only conservatives are expected to obey laws. Or obey laws that haven't been passed yet, in cases like DeLay's. Or obey rules that liberals would LIKE to be laws, but aren't.
So since you seek to restrict my freedom, I am justified in doing whatever it takes to shut you up. Right?
It's a matter of self-defense. The leftist press wants us U.S. citizens dead and they will do anything in their power/freedoms to do so.
Take deep breaths.
The left press wants us U.S. citizens dead. So we must does everything in our power to stop them. If that means taking about their voices and pen through censoring them, then it will be worth it.
You may want to seek some counseling from a qualified person.
The 1st Amendment of teh U.S. Constitution does not protect journalistic speech if that speech is lying and/or aiding a foreign enemy of the State.
The would pretty much shutdown the leftist press right there.
