This is all a lot of hogwash. The chicken littles of conservatism are as nuts as the left wing looney left. To listen to these screwballs we are going to be arresting and jailing everyone who happens to speak their minds within 60 days of an election. The purpose of the bill is to rid the election process of the sewer money that buys elections. The average person is locked out of the election process except for the single vote cast on election day and as we know that can be offset by the massive vote fraud existing today. Until and unless the dirty money is taken out of elections only the special interests will have any real input into the governance of this country.

No, the purpose is to ensure that politicians can rape conservatives in the 60 days prior to an election without anyone being able to buy space in the media to let the public know what they actually did. The media can use the law an an excuse when they refuse to sell time or space.

Nearly all "dirty money" in politics stems from two things: (1) a willingness (if not eagerness) for politicians to "give away" taxpayers' money if they think it will help their career, and (2) the eagerness of many politicians to have the government cripple businesses that don't provide them suitable support.

The problem is not that people and businesses can give money to politicians, but is rather that politicians use unconstitutional means of pressuring others to give them money and/or votes. When the real problem is a government that has taken too much power upon itself already, giving that same government more power does not seem like a wise solution.

Sorry, but conservatives have a right to be nuts.

This "campaign-finance reform" bill is all about keeping left-wing incumbents in power while squashing the voices of grass-roots conservative and groups.

The problem that no one is addressing is the campaign limits themselves. Candidates should be able to raise as much money as they feel like it so as long as there's full disclosure and none of the money is from foreign sources.

Who are the special interests? Average citizens that care about the issues.

This bill is against the first amendment, as is any supporter of this bill.

It also gives the MEDIA all the power.
