However, the CAPITO (R-WV) "even playing field"/ "millionaire" amendment PASSED!!! What this means is that candidates who contribute over $350,000 of their personal money to their own campaigns allow their poorer opponents to allow supporters to TRIPLE their Hard Money contributions. Some senators may not like this.

ALSO, President Bush won't like the fact that this doesn't go into effect this year (the amendment to do so was not passed), so he may VETO it on this ground alone.

Very important info...thanks. Do you have a link to a description of the defeat of that amendment? I would like to confirm it.

Steney Holmes (RAT-MD) was quite vocal in explaining that "it doesn't matter that we know this bill is unconstitutional - it is then the Supreme Court's job to make the final call." WRONGO you STUPID RAT! You took an OATH of OFFICE to UPHOLD the Constitution! Henry Hyde and others then tried to explain the reason he took his Oath. - like talking to a brick wall - Holmes BLATANTLY stated that he didn't care about his Oath! He implied that it didn't matter!

PINGING MARYLANDERS - VOTE HIM OUT!!! PING )))))))
