On the recordJuly 14, 1998
I would also say that when we put the word ``reasonable'' in the law itself, we really create a barrier to groups who do not want to throw their money away; to groups who clearly cannot spend all their time in court, and who see ``reasonable'' in the law, do not know what that means, decide they really cannot in all likelihood get their message across, so they just believe that their first amendment rights are gone, whether they are truly gone or not. Who knows what ``reasonable'' means? How is that defined in the law? Are we going to leave that up to the FEC to decide how that is defined in the law?
