But he raised taxes. The worker bee doesn't like that.
People know what taxes are, but not everyone knows what campaign reform is.
Tax affects the voter no matter how much he follows politics, but campaign reform "only affects those politicians in Washington."
Had the bill been called 'The elimination of the 1st ammendment', the masses would hear that.
You'd be suprised how many people don't really care about this issue.
People do, however, care about the NRA, the RTL committees, and on the other side, NOW and Sierra Club. And when THOSE groups start telling their membership what happened, look out.
This will have much more impact than you imagine.
