Can I really contribute ALL my money to the candidate of my choice, hard money, with NO restrictions?

No and you could not before this law either. What you can do is contribute twice as much now. Don't play games exodus you are not prepared. I don't mind arguing the constitutional basis because I would tend to agree it is dubious BUT this bill is better than the CF laws we did have.

That's my point, Texasforever. Both before and after this bill, government infringes on our freedom.

No joke, I'm glad to hear you say that you agree that restrictions on spending are un-Constitutional.
You're right, I haven't read the bill. I don't always have time to research everything before I post. However, no matter what the bill "allows," it doesn't remove all restrictions on a citizen's ability to participate in elections.

I know that the restrictions are there to "protect" us from those mean ol' special interests, but I would rather brave that danger than have my government restrict MY power to act on my own. I shouldn't have to say "pretty please" before I speak. I don't NEED permission. I have the right to be heard.
