If the Congress can getr away with infringing the Freedom of Speech of organizations, what's to stop them from trying to do the same to you and me? It's a slippery slope.

Actually this bill is more an infringement on Freedom of Assembly, as it limits the right of people to freely assemble together in a group to voice their collective displeasure with a politician. Individually we can all still object, but as a group, our rights are limited by this law.

It's a sad day in Amewrica. I am one of the lucky few who can actually do something about it, as Feingold is one of my Senators. And he's up for re-election in '04. I don't think he'll get my vote. He!! is still too warm for me to do that.

Because the GOP (and I am a card-carrying member of the GOP myself) hacks and flacks are of the "It's OK if it's our guys" mindset, shortsightedly thinking that while it'll be fun to wield CFR against the Dems, it can't ever be turned around against us. As if a Democrat will never be elected again.
