Campaign Finance Deform

Campaign Finance Deform David Broder has a good article in the Boston Globe on the details of the Campaign Finance reform bill being considered in the Senate.

My biggest concern comes from the bill's limitations on issue ads prior to primaries and elections. This is an incredibly broad prohibition which could effectively silence grass roots organizations. I don't see how this provision could get past the first Amendment considerations.

It is the job of government to protect its members from the actions of others. It is not the job of the government to protect its members from their own actions. That's the difference between being a citizen and a subject.
