Senate Passes Campaign Finance "Reform"
Sen. McConnell |
On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate joined the House in assaulting free speech
when it passed H.R. 2356 - the Shays-Meehan Campaign Finance "Reform"
bill - on a vote of 60-40.
Congressional opponents to this attack on the
First Amendment have vowed to challenge it in the courts, and
U.S.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), one of the most vocal opponents of this
bill, has already assembled a team of attorneys, including former
independent counsel Kenneth Starr, to mount a legal challenge.
NRA also
remains committed to protecting its ability to exercise free speech and
ensuring the privacy of its members, and your Association will fight
this assault on the First Amendment all the way to the Supreme Court of
the United States, if necessary.
