an "electioneering blackout" provision that would ban most third parties from using the name of a federal candidate for 30 days prior to a primary election and 60 days prior to a general election.

Robert Mugabe would love this provision for his March elections. Mow let us presume this passes andthe Supreme Court has yet to rule said staute unconstitutional and people are arrested for opposing candidates who are against the Secoond Amendment. The resultant Civil war would be an absolute disaster. By depriving enough people of the chance to make their case to the publiv enough would be radicalized that the blood in the dtreets would soon become a river. In short this legislation is a bomb that will destroy our nation. It does not even have to be upheld by the Supreme Court to cause its havoc merely to be subject to prolonged litigation while it is still being enforced.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

BUMP FOR FREEDOM!!

No matter how corrupt this country's government has become, I have always viewed free speech as a pressure valve that has kept this country from erupting like a volcano.

Now, if the politicians, media and unions want to close that pressure value, then they do so at their own peril.

Now, if the bill gets passed into law then come mid-August (when this law is suppose to kick in) and the people of this nation have realized what the politicians, media and unions have done.

Well I wouldn't be surprised if there was open rebellion by December or January.
