"...corporations, including nonprofit corporations and unions, cannot use their treasury funds to pay for ads that mention a Federal candidate during the last 2 months of the election cycle...

All of Meehan's comments are reprehensible, but this one takes the cake. Are you a member of any non-profit group or industry or union that wants to express a viewpoint during the last two months of a campaign? "FORGET ABOUT IT!" says Marty Meehan, "YOUR VIEWS ARE NOW FORBIDDEN!" "OH, NOW, IF YOU WANT TO FORM A 'PAC' AND BE REGULATED AGAIN AS TO HOW MUCH YOU CAN ACCEPT, WELL, THEN, THAT'S OKAY. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THAT FIRST BEFORE YOUR VOICE CAN BE HEARD!"

Make no mistake: Shays-Meehan/McCain-Feingold are traitorous, anti-Constitutional bills. They cannot become law. This transcript is just another piece of evidence against the legislation.

One final note: go to the link yourself, if you're still skeptical. Do a search for "federally regulated hard money", and you can see the entire colloquy (fancy word for conversation) yourself!

Hard money is the money in a candidate's personal campaign chest, correct?

[oldvike]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a provision in this bill that says you can use soft money to pay hard money debts?

I hope that in the case Bush DOJ would have a spine to sue each and every newspaper for mentionning any candidate - claiming that it mas political ad masquerading as a news/opinion item.

I would say it will be fun to watch.

Meehan: "Yes, I promised to not run again because of term limits. So what.
There is nothing I wont do to get what I want. We dont care about the First Amendment."

Meehan is also a 'rat ba$tard that got elected with a promise of a self imposed term limit (two terms, I believe). Needless to say, once he got in, he quickly reneged, obviously thinking that his lordly presence is far more important than some promises to his unwashed electorate. Lying puke!

AMENDMENT I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Seems pretty straight forward.
