Hmm, I think of myself as a Republican but I kinda thought I liked this bill. Then someone said that it exempts the News Media in this thread. Is that true? That would be kinda hard to swallow. I believe our constitution supports free speech for *individuals,* but that doesn't necessarily mean labor unions, corporations, or other conglomerates of individuals. I know, on the other hand, that the Supreme Court has ruled differently. Still and all, I'd like some campaign finance reform so the little guy's voice isn't drowned out by these K street manipulators. But if they're going to exempt the press, I don't even see the point of bothering.
