Is there anyway to reverse McCain/Feingold?

The first thing we could do is put our trust back in the American people. You could ban PAC, corporate, and labor contributions tomorrow if you take the limits off individual contributions (as the law stood before 1974, when the dems decided to do in Nixon).

We could also ban 527's from political activity. We should also require that 50% of the money a candidate raises come from within the district they seek to represent.

But, of course, none of this is possible with a dem House or Senate, let alone both.

Bad idea. Very bad idea.

We don't need less free speech. That is not the answer.

The 527 "loophole" doesn't just apply to the dhimmi's. The good people can use it too. So let's use it. Let's do it.

We don't need more draconian anti-speech laws. We need to stand up and speak.
