What amazes, and pleases, me, my friend, is that every day you can find cogent and useful analyses on the subject of Campaign Finance "Reform." It may not be frontpage, and is certainly not above the fold. However, it is still there in the press, and you keep it alive here on FR.

I've already tested the idea of my in-your-face challenge ads, first in the print media and then deliberately illegal on TV, with certain editors I have a long relationship with. I could trust these two gentlemen, one in the print media and the other in the broadcast media, with a "heads up" on what I am planning. Both said they wanted to know, in advance, when I am about to do this.

The bottom line is clear. If I am willing to put my neck on the line, with the possibilities of a fine and jail time, THAT effort will put CFR back on the front page in all media. And that is part of the point. There's not much value of going in-your-face against the enemies of the First Amendment unless the press takes up the story and spreads the word. It is now clear they will do exactly that.

Cordially,

John / Billybob

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

I'm starting to get a little tired of people who sit around and complain (about whatever) but won't try and do something about it.
