Frankly, I think the argument that the CFR "sacrifices" the Constitution is hooey. Please make your case.

  1. In todays media environment, the only way to get a message out is to buy advertising.

  2. Advertising requires money.

  3. This bill specifically denies organized efforts using donated money to get a political message out 60 days prior to an ellection.

  4. 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.
