no one is abridging the free speech of anyone. your argument is without merit. i understand your view but the Constitution does n ot support it.
a far better tack is to legislate that giving money does not = free speech. thats the insupportable aspect that is the heart of all this.
money perverts politics and should be eliminated. this is anathema to politics as it was invented to promote croneyism and power brokering.
fight the disease not the symptoms.
So you support the Supreme Court decision about no limits on how much money any group can donate? Would you feel the same way if it was proven that much of the money was coming from foreign interests? If your position on politics is correct don't you suppose that Red China is Obie's largest financial supporter and Saudi Arabia is next in line? Would that be acceptable to you?
