Six major Congressional sponsors of the campaign finance reform act filed papers in federal court last week to intervene in the lawsuits brought by those who consider the law unconstitutional. The culprits pushing limited political speech for the American people are Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Russ Feingold (D-Ws), Olympia Snowe (R-MA), and Jim Jeffords (I-VT). They were joined by Representatives Chris Shays (R-CN) and Marty Meehan (D-MS).

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the National Rifle Association both brought suites claiming the new law is unconstitutional -- which it most definitely is. One provision of the new law bans political parties from collecting "unregulated" money and another prevents most political advertising by private groups in the weeks prior to an election.

Generally speaking, the socialists running the Democratic Party are in favor of this new campaign finance scheme because it would keep the new crop of conservative citizens’ groups from campaigning against them. On the other hand, the Republican Party generally dislikes the scheme because they know the head of steam that is building among grassroots conservatives and want the help.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised about $105 million in the 2000 campaign cycle. Most of that was soft money, but never mind because no one made them give a strict accounting. Showing their dishonor in committing to the campaign finance law they continuously jawboned about and fought for, the Committee went out and raised $12 million in the first three months of this year. It already had $16.5 million in its war chest.

"The DCCC is on a record-setting pace because Democrats are promoting opportunity and security for working families," said DCCC Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-NY).

Sure. "Opportunity and security." But, when one looks at the campaign financial records, it is seen that much of that money comes from far left socialist groups. They accept money from union leaders, even when they know these union bosses are going to prison. They give "walking around" money to groups who would dismantle fine American organizations like the Boy Scouts. And the Democratic Party is firmly in bed with those socialist groups most active in destroying Christian religions in the United States. Why is it that none of that is ever related by the major media?

We can, however, take a couple lessons from the socialists in the Democratic Party. We should, too. Because, it’s time we fight back.

For instance, if the Constitution is the law of the land, the Democratic Party and its many degrees of socialists are the legal equivalent to "The Original Amateur Hour" of the law. If our Constitution can be said to be good, then the Democrats are the equivalent of an evil phantom lurking in the night, always ready to take yet another swipe to continue the evisceration of freedom.

From Roosevelt to Johnson, from Johnson to Clinton, Democrats have done more to usurp the rights of the American people than any other group in the world. As we showed last week, the Democratic Party is actually responsible for instituting 90% of the communist platform into federal law.

The Democratic Party is intentionally fighting to dismantle what was once called "The American Way." How much more evidence do people need that great change is necessary? They espouse socialism, rather then liberty. All they have is propaganda. But, a certain segment of our society still buys it.

Don Imus hit the nail on the head on his morning program last Thursday. The topic was the morons in the media who are still trying to construct a Clinton legacy. The "I-Man" quipped: "Clinton will be defined by Joycelyn Elders, Madeleine Albright and Janet Reno."

Imus was, of course, correct. But, we have to add in the rabid attack dogs like James Carville and Paul Begala. Then, there’s a string of tarts, the best known of whom is Monica Lewinski. We shouldn’t forget Larry Flint, either.

Today, we see President Bush fighting terrorism. Clinton, on the other hand, not only decreased funding for apprehending those foreign terrorists who would attack us domestically, he gave a Presidential pardon to a bunch of them who actually did commit acts of terrorism here.

The immigration problems are Clinton’s fault, too. After all, Bill Clinton and Janet Reno ran the INS for eight long years. Mismanaged is the proper term. They were negligent.

As for campaign fund-raising by the Democratic Party, their illegal activities are legendary. About forty of their major fund-raisers have already been convicted and more are indicted. If all were caught and prosecuted, the courts would be clogged for years.

Illegal campaign fund-raising is a major part of the Clinton legacy. From dialing for dollars in the White House, receiving illegal communist Chinese money, trading union bucks, and taking money so his buddy could sell ICBM technology to the Red Chinese, Clinton was into it all.

That’s the Clinton legacy: Total and complete corruption.

A revamping of the campaign finance laws is definitely necessary. But, it hasn’t happen yet. Besides, as with Clinton & company, the laws we have are usually not enforced anyway.
