Makes you wonder when the next, "Protect American Voter's Act" will include the requirement for any print shops to inform the FEC if more than 500 copies of political pamphlets were ordered printed. Take note John McCain. I need protection from the r3VOLution.

Ernie, thanks for your work. I believe you'll find that McCain Feingold has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Therefore, it does repeal the First Amendment. The only powers that are able to re-review it at this point would be a new Congress - and the Democrat majority seems to make no difference to the boot-on-our-nex aspex of their tyranny - or by a new president. Bush, who signed this creepy legislation (as I recall, not that it matters) is not courageous enough to review it or propose a replacement. Andrew Jackson, now there was a man who could veto something and tell you why!

Now, you said you are limited to $1000. But, didja know that there are dollars now in circulation which have been declared legal tender by the US Congress and which bear the face value of $1, but are worth closer to $14? The US Mint calls them American Silver Eagles and mints them of an ounce of silver. Kitco.com sells them for $15.94 today. Spot silver is about $13.34, but there is always a coin premium for single ounces. (The spot price implies a contract for, I think, five thousand ounces or more, with 15,000 oz being a typical trade.)

They also make a lovely $50 coin that is worth $750 or more. Kitco sells 'em for $768 today.

Now, the government had to make them "legal tender" in order to export these without paying duty. And there is a huge export market for gold and silver coins. So, they are legal tender. There's an act in 1985 that Congress passed and Reagan signed. You could look it up.

Which means that you can use gold and silver coins, minted by the USA government, in trade or commerce, at face value. Can you convince the copy shop guy to take one ounce silver Eagles and give you a whopping discount on the cost of your copies? Not if you talk to the clerk, but if you talk to the owner, I'll bet you could negotiate.

There's clearly something wrong with the law. The McCain Feingold law is despicable tyranny. You are right to disobey tyranny. Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

So, I'm not proposing that you toe the line. I am suggesting that if you don't like the campaign contribution limits, then make your contributions in gold and silver coins at face value. If you don't like the spending limits, then make your spending in gold and silver coins at face value.

Does multiplying your limits by 15 or so help make the cage more comfortable? Then do it. Do it as long as you can get away with it. Does it make more sense to wreck the cage and use the bars to bludgeon the prison guards?

Just remember, "the people are revolting." And it is that time in the slave rebellion cycle when lots of rebellion is to be expected.

Regards,

Jim
