Re: Amid Barrage of Attack Ads, Considering Tighter Rules
Dear Sirs:
Free speech is constantly under attack by incumbents of all stripes. After all it was John McCain, a Republican, and Russ Feingold, a Democrat, whose names are synonymous with one of the worst pieces of legislation ever to restrict the common citizen’s ability to speak his mind–the so-called “Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002”. Now incumbent Republican Dan Lungren of California feels that his now sensitive feelings as a self-important elected official are being abused by so-called negative/attack ads; therefore, he is gathering support for further restrictions on free speech. If he can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, as President Harry Truman would admonish. Patrick Barron
