Now hear this:

Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.

That is all.


The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!



If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

It will be down too, along with all websites that espouse a political point of view.

Obviously, campaign finance needs another journey to the Supreme Court - why not the Free Republic?

Quote:

"What is a moderate interpretation [of the Constitution]? Halfway between what it says and halfway between what you want it to say?"
- Anthony Scalia noting that the left uses code words "mainstream" or "moderate" to describe their judges. [2006]

And Scalia said this, how many years after the judge was put on the Supreme Court?

I'll include a link to this thread in the weekend preview when I send the ping for that. A few people on that list have objected when I've pinged them for anything else but I don't think anyone will object to that sort of thing. Plus, that will exttend the life of this thread. It's a scary thought.
