Then you have never read this yet, have you?

However, the bill does have flaws. Certain provisions present serious constitutional concerns. In particular, H.R. 2356 goes farther than I originally proposed by preventing all individuals, not just unions and corporations, from making donations to political parties in connection with Federal elections.

I believe individual freedom to participate in elections should be expanded, not diminished; and when individual freedoms are restricted, questions arise under the First Amendment.

I also have reservations about the constitutionality of the broad ban on issue advertising, which restrains the speech of a wide variety of groups on issues of public import in the months closest to an election.

I expect that the courts will resolve these legitimate legal questions as appropriate under the law.

Yes all you rats you have been snookered. This bill is going to be finished off once and for all, because of what President Bush did. And the rat trap is going to catch all of you demorats in one big swoop. Election day when you are voted back to the stone age, for daring to try and take away Free Speech in this country.

I cannot wait until the GOP wakes up to the fact that they can let the liberal groups know whi it was that attempted to silence them. The liberals base is going to become a cheering squad of the conservative's who are challenging the laws in the courts. In the end they will be praising the same court they believe "selected the chimp".

Each I see more and more how the signing of this bill plays out and I admire the choice Bush made more and more.

I know its been said before but he plays chess not checkers.

Well, let the snookering begin!

I'm hoping you are right in your thoughtful input. Thanks.
