Just what organization has been "gagged?"

According to two organizations I belong to, it's a violation of CFR law for them to mention the voting record of a candidate or anything concerning his or her position on any issue for 60 days before an election. The NRA can't use the media to report whether a candidate voted for or against antigun bills, and Focus on the Family can't air ads revealing a candidate's stand on issues such as abortion, homosexual special privileges, or the preservation of traditional marriage.

Those are just two of probably thousands of similar orgs which are gagged by CFR for all practical purposes. I'm sure there are many, many more that I have no connection with or knowledge of.

As even the idiot Dims have figured out with a minimal slight of hand hardly beyond the means of such organizations as those "new" organizations emerge which can say whatever they wish at any time they wish. If these laws mean the influence of the stupid is reduced then GOOD!
