Oh, puleezzze. The First Amendment has not been destroyed. I agree that banning advocacy group ads in the 60 days before election should be held to violate the First Amendment. But I've never tried to buy one of those ads and most likely never will. The fact is the First Amendment has been violated for 30 years by the $1,000 donation limit, which this bill doubles. That's where my money goes - to candidates. MY First Amendment speech has been increased, not restricted. People should quit hyperventilating over this.

As long as it's not your ox being gored...

I recall you posted a thread looking for "Conservative Principles".

Looks like you succeeded. Thanks for posting your results.

Huh? So, you support the current "hard money" restriction of $1,000, believe its Constitutional, and believe the President violated his oath and the Constitution by not vetoing a bill to increase that limit to $2,000, right????
