Among his many other faults, not the least of which is that he's two-faced, McCain hates the First Amendment and will do anything he can to stifle free speech. He's a nightmare.
Ah! I believe that would be McCain-Feingold.
I have a certain nervousness about candidates who slide to the right to position themselves for a primary. I prefer candidates who START there and are firmly rooted.

That's why they can't put McCain on Mount Rushmore -- there's no room for two more faces.
He needs to learn to stick to his guns. People will donate in a manner they know they can.
From GOA: (note how many of those newly elected "conservative" democrats are on the list voting against our First Amendment rights. Wasn't it gweat that all those nasty wepublicans lost...certainly taught them a wesson!!! That's all folks....)
Big Win in the Senate... Thanks to Your Support!

Congratulations! You have, once again, whupped the anti-gun zealots!
As Constitution-hating senators like California's Dianne Feinstein whined and complained, the Senate -- by a narrow largely-party-line vote of 55-43 -- struck language which would have required GOA to monitor and report on its communications with its members and friends (like you).
GOA has heard reports that there was an outpouring of calls against this anti-speech language on Capitol Hill, and that it made a huge difference.
In addition to the massive wave of grassroots opposition, GOA was also working in concert with key Hill players (many of them trained by GOA) to hammer out a legislative strategy that would either result in the death of the entire bill or, at a minimum, kill the dangerous
Section 220.
The good news came late on Thursday night when the Bennett amendment -- which deleted this nconstitutional "grassroots lobbying" reporting language contained in S. 1 -- was adopted by the narrow margin mentioned above.
The war is not over. The House has yet to produce its bill in this area -- and no one is betting that the House will "do the right thing." But we have won what perhaps will be the most important battle.
The 43 Senators who voted to take us down the road of more government regulation and more restrictions on the right of free speech -- a road that would eventually make it harder for all of us to petition our government servants -- are listed below:
