New G.A.B. Rule 1.28 on Campaign Ads in Effect August 1
The entire text of the G.A.B. 1 Rule can be found here (Sections 1.10, 1.28, and 1.42 are most revealing):

Political speech is the PRIMARY reason for freedom of speech enumerated in the First Amendment.
Its time to pluck the feathers and boil the tar, someone get a goodly supply of rails also!
And remember: Feingold is the one who teamed up with Juan McLame on that OTHER stomp on your constitutional rights: McCain-Fengold Campaing finance ‘reform’
Have you heard about this?
...and what happens if this is just ignored? The Cheese Police comes to your door?
Color me ignorant but can governments just keep passing laws that void the Constituion?
The great minds who formed our government must have anticipated this kind of intrusion.
Bttt
We need to get this on every conservative show and blog in the country. This is the Dem’s plan to save their seats in the mid-terms, it cannot stand!
GAB rule violates 1st Amendment ? Is this satire?
We ain’t got the “resources” to stop and deport illegal aliens but we can engage in this kind of sh**. What the hell?
I guess the rats in WI couldn't stand the fact that McCain/Feingold was done away with and had to enact a state law to do the same thing. Luckily it is only one state and it will surely be struck down.
It’s sad to think of everyone who died in wars for this BS.
Perhaps FreeRepublic would fall under these regs?
I’m not too keen on rules, but as a fundraiser for the GOP in WI - the expanded rules look to be controls affecting when a campaign finance report DOES NOT require filing. Both political parties are involved in wanting a paper trail to monitor late bloomers claiming to be “The Commitee to Improve Binocular Improvement” or some such, from appearing two days before an election, and is a smokescreen for one of the political parties. I personally don’t care if someone wants to show in a youtube video that Russ Feingold is in love with his hamster if you know what I mean, but anyone working that angle of attack will probably make it untraceable anyway. There may be more to the verbiage in the pdf to support an alternative reading I guess, and as I mentioned I’m not an expert. I just started at the beginning and read to the end.
By the way I’ll try to get that you tube video of Feingold upped by Aug 16th or 17th and post the link here!
With the corruption that there is in Milwaukee, I am not surprised at all.
btt
Ummm, the federal elected officials have nothing to do with state legislation. It’s the 33 state senators and the 99 state representatives that either passed or failed to stop the bill. Not the federal reps and senators.
Speech is only free so long as it is Politically Correct and doesn’t run contrary to the opinions of the punditry. Hate Speech is defined by the powers that be and the MSM. Will Beck and Limbaugh make it to November, apparently not in Wis.
