True. We need a bill that will up the limit on hard money. But this bill does so much more and should be shot down. I have cooled down a bit from where I was last night, but I still am upset with Bush on this. He could have easily taken the high ground, told the American people waht the bill is really about, and veto. Everyone would fall behind him.

A citizen's money is his, an extension of his power.
Money IS power. To restrict a man's right to speak is wrong,
INCLUDING restricting "hard money" contributions.
Put limits on corporations, fine. A corporation is not a citizen.
Put limits on union contributions. A union isn't a citizen, either.
But tell a man he can't put all HIS money, all his power, behind a cause he believes in?
No, ANY restriction on a man's political speech is tyranny.
