You should read this article.  Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has taken on the 'Evil' McCain-Feingold law.  It was passed in the name of "reform."  It is far from it; in fact it makes things worse, much worse.

A bedrock principle of our republic is freedom of speech.  Congress shall make no law abridging it, says the Constitution.  The main purpose of that provision was not to make sure exotic dancers could practice their trade, or that juveniles could curse in public settings--both of which are allowed by case law under our freedom-of-speech jurisprudence.  No, the 1st Amendment was drafted in the context of the King of England suppressing his citizens' objections to his policies.  The Founders did not want this for our new country.

So McCain-Feingold comes along and bars groups from talking about federal candidates near federal elections.  When would be better to have a debate about such candidates?!?!  This law is an affront to our very political order.  Plus, as Romney points out, it does not work.  As McCain tries to force money out of politics, he actually forces it into the shadows, where citizens can get less information about who is spending what.  Columnist George Will has noted, too, that there is more money spent by Americans on pork rinds than on politics, so the notion that we are spending too much on politics is debatable.

Here's a couple of the highlights from Romney's article, but read the whole thing.
