The McCain-Feingold law entails:

-A ban on broadcast, cable or satellite television and radio issue advertising by groups such as the NRA. The electronic media blackout would be enforced 60 days before a general election and 30 days before a primary election (or runoff) if the government determined that the advertising content "refers" to a Federal candidate.

-That all violations of the legislation are criminal offenses calling for Federal prison sentences and steep fines. Such violations in S.27 run the gamut from numerous possible filing and paperwork errors--to placing television and radio "issue" advertisements that don`t meet a government standard--to having normal lobbying discussions construed as illegal campaign "coordination" activities. Any of this could mean prison terms for officials of organizations such as the NRA and their employees simply for attempting to exercise the groups` collective First Amendment rights.
