One more attempt to silence the American people when they start to oppose the liberals.

Senate Democrats are considering placing curbs on soft-money 527 groups amid evidence that they are beginning to lose the political advantage these largely unregulated funds have given them over Republicans.

This is a move Democrats had strenuously opposed during the last Congress, when they were believed to benefit from the lionÂ’s share of 527 money, but now there is evidence that more of the money from these groups, named for a clause in the tax code, is flowing to the GOP.

Of course, that isn't the only attempt by the Dems to throttle political speech. they want to introduce public financing of congressional campaigns, too, and do more "campaign finance reform", which we know means speech limitation for the common man.

Why don't we simply go back to the system that worked so well for most of the first two centuries of the Republic -- Congress and the states staying out of the business of regulating political speech.
