Frankly, I think the argument that the CFR "sacrifices" the Constitution is hooey. Please make your case.
- In todays media environment, the only way to get a message out is to buy advertising.
- Advertising requires money.
- This bill specifically denies organized efforts using donated money to get a political message out 60 days prior to an ellection.
- Ergo, the free speech of those people who have organized to get a message out -- about political issues -- is specifically denied.
The fact you cannot see this is a complete abrogation of the 1st Amendment is staggering.

So, the exercise of free speech is dependent upon money? Well, I don't have any money to spend on getting my views out. I guess that little obstacle is violating my freedom to exercise my First Amendment rights.
