On the recordJuly 14, 1998
The Shays-Meehan bill is an attempt by incumbents, incumbents, to decide what you say is the truth, not the courts. They want this Congress to decide and set up regulations to regulate people's participation in the process. We want to get rid of all these uncomfortable ads that are being run against us because I do not like them and they make me uncomfortable. We want to get rid of the opportunities of people to stand up and say, I voted this way or I voted that way and they either like the way I voted or they dislike the way I voted. We want to get rid of all that so that we could be a little more comfortable and limit people's ability to participate in the process. That is what this is all about.
