My correspondence:

Dear Mr. President,

To put it very simply, I strongly urge you to veto the currently proposed campaign finance reform bill. Clearly, many parts of the bill are unconstitutional. Knowing, as you undoubtedly do, that the constitutionality of the bill will be challenged and most probably find its way to The Supreme Court, you are opening a can of worms best left alone. Indeed, if The Supreme Court does not strike it down, then you, Mr. President, will be recorded in history as the one who signed into law the first of what will most certainly be many erosions of our First Amendment rights. History will also record you as a true heir to your father's dynasty; one whose lips are not fit to be read.

Mr. President, I am a life-long conservative. My initial hesitancy to support you as a candidate for president, in favor of those I believed more conservative, is returning. You will find I am not alone.

With all due respect, sir, I understand compromise is a way of life in our nation's capital. Some ideals, though, are too precious to be compromised. This is one of them. Again, I urge you to veto the proposed campaign finance reform bill.

Respectfully,
........
