Freedom of Speech…. Not!

The following e-mail is from my friend Sheldon Richman [1].
“Do you want to know what it means to be free in America today? It means that if you want to air a political ad in the last 60 days of this presidential campaign, you are free to wade through this site to see if you’re allowed:
http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/electioneering.htm “
….
It’s simultaneously infuriating and mystifying that so many Americans acquiesce in the political-class’s blatant effort – that is, McCain-Feingold [2] – to strip us of our right to free speech.
