"A more level playing field is apparently against the First Amendment."

You've got that right! That money = speech thing will keep elections from EVER being a level playing field, and keep our politicians in the pockets of the special interests.

Maybe we need a Constitutional Amendment that money DOES NOT = speech? I don't see any other way around it, unless we get a reversal by the Supremes.

It's just seems wrong, that a citizen with money has more speech power than a citizen without money.

Need a more level playing field,

Try out our "Picks of the Quarter" for that.
We start a new 4 months round on Monday.

Ted can vouch for it;)

Maybe feingold and mccain can now shut down websites like your blog and youtube for making the political field "unlevel". They're uniquely qualified since they've already trashed the first amendment.

Be careful what you wish for, you may have already gotten it and missed it since you were for it...
