This is what campaign finance reform gets you; a bill that overrides the first Amendment freedom of speech.

Hans A. von Spakovsky, a former FEC commissioner, says there are 568 pages of FEC regulations, and 1,278 pages of the Federal Register have been filled with explanations and justifications of those regulations. For James Madison, 10 words sufficed: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech."

And to think it took a whole bunch of highly paid Lawyers to compose every one of those 1,846 pages.
