On the recordSeptember 29, 1997
Indeed, we have not fully agreed on all provisions that are options throughout this whole realm of campaign finance, but fundamentally we certainly agree on the question of the mandatory deduction. It is ever so clear to this Senator, and I am sure the other members of the committee, that throughout America the workers want to be recognized for their ability to think for themselves and their ability to make decisions for themselves. This whole idea of mandatory deduction is against free will--I think, indeed, against the very essence of what freedom is all about. I commend my distinguished colleague from Kentucky. Let us fight on in the cause of freedom.
