All informational and educational materials produced by such groups would have to be registered and reported on a quarterly basis. Failure to report would result in severe civil penalties..."

The Swift Boat Veterans' success in stopping Kerry really got to the Democrats. They can't protect their collection of defective politicians from the truth without instituting such measures.

As we all should know, "free speech" needs regulating.

The sad thing is, some Republicans will vote for such a bill. E.g., John McCain, Chuck Hegel, Lindsay Graham, Arlen Specter, et al.
