Was there any part of CFR that you agreed with?

And one last question, Did you know that this can be changed as part of another bill, I think there is enough support to reverse this in Congress, even many democrats admitted that the free speech concerns were real, it's just that Fiengold insisted on that portion in exchange for eliminating Union contributions

No. There was not a single part of this bill that was good. One of the main reasons is that Free Speech is a God-given right recognized in the first amendment. Slander and libel are already illegal. Political speech, even paid political speech should not be illegal.

Another is that this bill was just a revision of a previous bill limiting free speech that was in itself unconstitutional.
