Arlington, Va.—Lawyers for two groups that back greater regulation of speech about elections filed public comments with the Federal Election Commission yesterday opposing an Advisory Opinion Request from SpeechNow.org. The independent speech group with an innovative new charter is seeking confirmation that it can advocate for or against candidates without being forced to become a political committee and limit its donations and speech under federal law.

“Americans should be able to speak freely with their fellow Americans about anything, including who should be elected to office,â€

Just what we need, another lid on our liberties.

What are they so afraid of?

Everyone discusses politics and politicians, its an American pastime.

Our constitution is being attacked a lot lately or being mis-interpreted, however they want the "wind to blow."

If they win, this does not bode well for us.
