[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] You'll LOVE this, then. the ACLU agrees with Omega. (And we ALL know how right-wing reactionary the ACLU is... right?) From the ACLU Campaign Finance Reform Fact Sheet #1: "[A Campaign Finance Reform Amendment] would carve out a huge exception to First Amendment rights by placing limits on free speech." "...would give to Congress and the states unprecedented, sweeping and undefined authority to restrict speech currently protected by the First Amendment." "...would give Congress and every state legislature powers, heretofore denied by the First Amendment, to regulate the press." Fact Sheet #2: "The leading "reform" proposals unconstitutionally restrict speech of issue advocacy groups." "Campaign reform proposals incorrectly assert that Congress can control the quantity and quality of all speech that influences the outcome of elections in an attempt to make elections "fair." Funny, huh? THE organization for "Civil Liberties" being against it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
