Mitt Romney Wants to Repeal McCain-Feingold
by Amanda Adams*, 3/8/2007
Presidential contendor Mitt Romney has publicly stated that he is opposed to the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, calling for its repeal. Romney believes it restricts free speech, and increases an appeal to regulate grassroots organizations. The end of his press releases references the Wisconsin Right To Life case. The blog www.moresoftmoneyhardlaw.com has an interesting response. From Romney's press release:
Governor Romney believes that McCain-Feingold restricts our First Amendment rights and is bad public policy. He believes we should enact reforms that promote transparency and disclosure, preserve grassroots activism and protect the ability to criticize or endorse current officeholders and candidates.
