Russ Feingold, DICK Gephardt, RINO Shays, are all at this anti-Constitutional press conference. This is bad news, folks. They want to STOP political speech 30 days before the election.

So who are the rat-bastard GOP members who support the CFR abomination? Who signed on to get this to a vote?

[SuziQ]

I'm hoping that some who signed the discharge petition only wanted the matter to be voten on openly. I'm hoping that it will GO DOWN IN FLAMES!!

[Corporate Law]

Should have capitalized LITTLE as well.

[PetroniDE]

WHO DO WE FREEP, AND WHEN? COUNT ME IN.

[The Wizard]

here is the first thread

Not a problem. Pass the thing, give Dubya a chance to declare the NY Times, Washington Post etc. to be 'functional parts of the Democratic Party' and direct the FEC to charge the free publicity the media give the Dems against what the Dems are allowed to spend.

I suspect this will quickly see the law repealed.

You need to get on the phone, write your representatives and editorials to your local papers and let them know what you think.....do it now! Democracy works only when it's practiced! The conservative voice is under attack!

Thank God!

It is the "avoidance" of the "great populist" that is in this vote. Politics will still be the playground of the rich.. but lets stop the wholesale selling of our highest offices.

This is good news and needs to be done.

Bump against the far right....

CFR is good.

[Notwithstanding]

I don't own a newspaper or TV station. Giving $50 - $500 - or even 50,000 to the candidate whose policies are like my own is the only way I (a "working family" kinda guy) can make my voice have any effect to counter the voice of the NYTimes and CNN, etc.

This plan is horseshit through and through (as is the current law, I might ad) and eliminates the voice of the little guy who does not agree with Newsweak and PMNSNBC (who love the democrats).

No power on earth is going to stop me from expressing my political views in this country. My First Amendment rights weren't in Congress' power to give and they're not in its power to take away.

[gunshy]

Let's hope these guys ammend this stupid bill so that it allows all incumbents to be elected for life. I hope they keep doing these things. Maybe someday the people of this country will wake up. I doubt it though.

[OldFriend]

It's unconstitutional........Supremes have already said so........this is a disgraceful waste of time but I suppose they could be thinking up new ways to tax us....so let them go at it.
