It might have - but Section 220 was removed from the Senate bill today in a 55-43 vote before the rest of the ethics bill passed the Senate. All 43 Senators who voted to keep the provision were Democrats.

Free speech and the right to petition the government dodged a bullet today. Next up - making sure Pelosi's House bill doesn't include any similar provision and/or that the grassroots lobbying "reform" doesn't rear its ugly head in a conference committee hashing out any House-Senate differences.

Well said.

This issue is so important.

Everyone in America should become familiar with this threat to free speech!

All talkshow hosts should discuss this some every day.
