One would hope so, though my impression of the majority of democRAT voters is that they are perfectly happy with turning the other way as long as they can continue to collect "freebies" at the expense of the taxpayers. Feed them some government candy and they'll never notice the increased restriction.
They've been moderately successful with squashing the second amendment, so now it's on to the first amendment.
Pelosi's initiative can only happen with the complicity of some Republicans and the Blue/Yellow dog (forget the current politically correct term) democrats.
I'm very much afraid that this will be next on their agenda.

As proof I offer the following insults and diatribes aimed at this very post. That is of course, if anyone has the cajones to try and argue the point.
Thanks. I was right. You're a thread jumper and you can't distinguish.
Hmmm.
That sure looks like Barbara Mikulski, Democrat from Maryland on the right......... same double chin and hairy neck.
;-)
She's completely off the rails.
McCain must adore her.
I was thinking of Mikulski but Murray has more recently balooned into a porker. Plus, Murray is a real whiner.
When the Senators are milling around on the floor during votes, I acutally get a kick out of watching butterball Mikulski. Murray is totally repulsive.
Needed. A 4th branch of Government, the UnCongress that repeals bad laws. Then Judges can go back to judging.
LOL.
As the late and great Rodney Dangerfield would have said, "What a crowd, what a crowd!"
Just something else brought to us by the "Oh so much more conservative than you" stay at home dumb asses.
Sounds like you're an 'independent' whose liberal side outweighs your conservative side dcw.
Not too surprising. That's typical of 'independents.' Liberals.........only with less spine.
I think what bothers a lot of people is that our Republican "leaders" know that most of us will vote a straight party ticket even though we may not like the candidates that we are voting for. Speaking only for myself, I can say that I was thoroughly disgusted with the candidates I had the option of voting for on the R side of the ballot here in PA.
Rick Santorum. Yes, I know he's a great person but he had 12 years to make a difference in the Senate yet his only defense against Casey's attacks was to make his own attacks on Casey. Huh? 12 years in Congress and he can't get up in front of a crowd and run on his merits? In my mind, that's criminal. Of course Casey is such a disgusting, revolting POS that it boggles my mind how anyone (of either party) could vote for him, yet he won by what, a million votes? I voted for Rick but I really didn't want to. What's wrong with that? Why am I a bad guy for wanting to have a better option that Rick Santorum. Am I pissed that Casey won? Absolutely. Do I feel bad for Santorum? Not even a little bit.
And then we have Curt Weldon. Bottom line, if you are in a position of power you should be going out of your way to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. All the negative adds didn't cause his supporters to lose faith but those aren't the votes that matter.
Crap, I didn't want to write a book but my whole point is this, our party needs a shake-up because when the best we can do is McCain or Rudy for Presidential hopefuls, we have strayed far from the path we need to be on.
I for one will no longer be blindly supporting RINO candidates and fake Conservatives just because they have an R next to their name. We have fought too hard for too long to get lazy and complacent. You can bad-mouth people like me all you want but maybe, just maybe, your blind loyalty to the party has enabled the Dems to worm their way into power once again.
And I have to take a few seconds to thank my other Senator, the wonderful Arlen Specter (R) for helping to prove my point. We got this jerk re-elected and now he's going to go to Syria (against WH wishes) with Kerry and Dodd.
That's the thanks we get for supporting the party.
"Current law prevents former members of Congress and senior staff as well as senior executive staff from lobbying for one year. Pelosi’s proposal would extend that to two years and completely ban members and staff from accepting gifts, meals and privately sponsored travel."
I believe this would be Pelosi's Communist way of keeping Tom Delay out of the conservative lobbying business for a while. She still fears him and the power he still has. This whole thing is just one more usual liberal bullying tactic that we have all come to know.
we are going to have to send off to both Pelosi and McCain for the play book on how we can use the internet now
Why worry? We have the Presidency! Noooooo way would GWB sign a bill infringing on Free Speech.
