Aha! The plot thickens!
Favors must stop
Congress wants to close the final “free speech loophole” left by its earlier campaign finance reform emasculation of the First Amendment. Rather than answer the “527” organizations, politicians want to shut them down.
There is a simple solution to the problem of campaign finance excesses which would also solve budget deficits, high taxes and general corruption — and until this single, simple solution is adopted, we will never really fix any of these problems.
We must reduce the number of favors government hands out. As long as government takes one person’s money and gives it to another, makes rules benefiting one group over another, or issues contracts enriching some people with taxes collected from others, then people will continue to buy influence, politicians will continue to sell votes, and special interest groups will continue to manipulate laws, budgets and media. Citizens not only get stuck footing the bills, but they also get pitted against each other.
And as long as government has favors to distribute, there will be competition for those favors.

NO WAY did the same Paul Broshear write the above LTE in the Washington Times as the missive about spacemen and Chistmass. It is Ray Sansom.
