And Now... A Time for Civil Disobedience in Response to McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform

(Hat-Tip goes to Misha, The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler.)

I believe that whatever the traffic that goes to my blog, I have to participate in an act of Civil Disobedience that is taking the blogosphere by storm. In this post, all you have to do is promote whatever candidate for any political office. Why am I allowing this? Because the McCain-Feingold bill is opposed to allowing supporters of candidates for a federal office from using soft money donations to fund ads 60 days before the general election. In essence, I believe this is an attack on the First Amendment rights of our citizens, as these so-called "soft money" groups are actually a way for less wealthy and politically active individuals to equalize their influence on candidates versus the more wealthy individual donors.

Also, the law is now being broadly interpreted as meaning that even posting a link to a preferred candidate may in fact be a violation. Just read this and see what I mean.

If this is considered a law, then I, as a free individual who chooses whether or not to consent to the laws, must refuse to recognize this one. It is a violation of Free Speech, and I will not let this stand any longer.

All are free to comment in the comments section of this particular post, and endorse any candidate regardless of political views or affiliation. No endorsement will be moderated or censored in any way. This is what America SHOULD be, and it may take many citizens of this country to disobey this law, shouting in one voice that no law in conflict with our Bill of Rights is a law worth obeying.
