Dave, what part of censorship and Free Speech don't you understand?
Look, if you don't have a problem with betting your Right's in a crapshoot to win favor in the media then I think maybe you are in the wrong place.
When Dubya and a Majority of Congress conspire to muffle you and take away your right's.. expecting the SCOTUS to step in, play "goalie" and prevent serious damage from being done then IT IS a Constitutional Crisis.
I am glad that you have so much faith in our court system that you would bet my right's on it. Thanks.
Its already constitutional to restrict hard money "contributions" and soft money ads are not supposed to advocate voting for/against a candidate like Clinton did to Dole with the Untion ads in '96.
If this passes constitutional muster, which it wont, you havent lost your free speech because you can still say whatever you want and you can still run ads. You are only restricted in how you pay for them and what you say. For example in stead of saying call Rep so and so to let him know how you feel (which was always borderline), you would have to say something like when you go to vote next week, make sure you vote for the candidate that will xxxx. Also the bill only affects TV/radio. You can still communicate your message via print ads and "door knockers."
