Christopher Shays: “I would say to the gentlemen he is an honest and good man and when he knows the facts, he should be voting for this bill…”

“I would say to the gentlemen he is an honest and good man and when he knows the facts, he should be voting for this bill because it has been against the law since 1947 for union dues money to be used in campaigns; 1907, for corporations to be used in campaigns, and both happened because of soft money and sham issue ads. As soon as a sham issue ad is called a campaign ad, one cannot have either corporate money or union dues money. Given that, why will the gentleman not support the bill?”
