“What is it about the First Amendment and the right to engage in political speech that so upsets liberals and so-called “reformers” such as former FEC Commissioner Trevor Potter?
In his latest attack on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in The Washington Post, Potter paints a misleading picture of the FEC and the federal restrictions that govern campaigns. Contrary to his erroneous claims, the three Republican commissioners that he criticizes have been trying to protect the First Amendment right of Americans to participate in the political process, while the other Democratic commissioners that he praises have been trying to issue over-restrictive regulations that violate the First Amendment and the holdings of the Supreme Court.”
