Our nation was founded upon basic principles to form a government.

A constitution was designed to ensure a government based upon and constrained by these principles.

Foremost of these principles was citizen participation in the governing process.

Free speech was considered essential for citizens to participate.

CFR bans political speech by "citizen groups" during elections.

Therefore, CFR removes an irreplacible component of the government and denies, in large part, the origin of our nation. Is that less hyperbolic? Call it enforced voluntary donation or cutting the poor SOB's heart out, the patient is still dead.

OK. You called it "attempted murder". Let's go with that. Suppose it gets signed. At that point, is the Republic dead? Suppose it doesn't get to the USSC before it takes effect. Is it dead then? Suppose (God forbid) the court upholds it. Is the United States of America dead then?

Hyperbole.
