LibertyNet A Drop of Reason in a Sea of Irrationality 2/27/02 Dear Friend of Liberty, This is my first message in more than a year. Personal matters have kept me from writing regularly, and indeed will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. There's an issue that's so important, however, that I've set aside this time to ask you to act on it before it's too late. The "campaign-finance reform" that Congress would impose on us if it passes the Shays-Meehan bill represents perhaps the single gravest threat to our liberty in American history. It will severely curtail your right to use your property to support your political views, leaving the liberal media with a near-monopoly on the dissemination of political information in America. The House has already passed Shays-Meehan, and the Senate appears poised to pass it too. President Bush, living down to my early warnings about his mushy-moderate statist support for Big Government, has indicated he most likely will sign Shays-Meehan. The only way to stop it is to bombard the Senate with our opposition and shore up the rubbery backbone of Senate Republicans so that at least 40 of them will oppose it, thus allowing a filibuster to kill it. Below you'll find and easy and inexpensive ($21) means to send a fax to all 100 Senators opposing Shays-Meehan. I urge you to take 60 (or 120) second out of your day and use this online means to help stop this grave threat to our liberty. Sincerely, David B. Levenstam, CPA, MT, MA Conservatives in 2001!
