When the elected leaders that are supposed to be answering to the people start making rules about what you can and can’t do and say during elections, you know there is a rotten apple in the barrel and it’s well past time for an insurrection.
Elected leaders who try to regulate their own elections should be drummed out of office immediately. There is absolutely no way to claim it’s ethical to regulate speech in relation to elections. We already have laws on the books to deal with libel and slander, so why we have an FEC eludes me, unless it’s there to try and affect the outcome of the election by throttling the ability of people and groups to express their opinions or finance particular candidates. Having a government body regulate opinions that affect the outcome of government elections is asinine and inherently dishonest. Any politician who tries to claim otherwise should be pelted with rotten tomatoes or worse.
Every individual working for the FEC has a vested interest in ensuring that all future elections produce politicians who support the continued growth of government power. The continued growth of government power is the antithesis of freedom. Houston, we have a problem.
Please join the insurrection before these arrogant legislators ruin the country beyond any hope of repair.
And please, keep blogging freely. The government can’t stop us all. Not yet. Not ever.
