Groups request rules to allow ads in elections
Groups ranging from the AFL-CIO to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are asking the Federal Election Commission to write new regulations that would let them lobby federal officeholders through TV ads in the days before a primary or general election.
Hello? What part of free speech has ANYONE begging any branch of the government for the right to speak out on any political issue. It is SERIOUSLY wrong that porno is protected but political speech is limited. The whole idea of the First Amendment speech provision was to guarantee unlimited and free political speech and debate.
This is as sad a commentary on the shredding of the COnstitution as anything else that’s out there.
F.E.T.E.
