"GOA... joined Texas Congressman Ron Paul and other groups and individuals
who would have their constitutional rights trampled by the McCain-Feingold
Incumbent Protection Act.... The suit alleges that McCain-Feingold
gives the Federal Election Commission the power to license and control
the nature and content of political communication -- the very core of the
First Amendment's Free Speech and Free Press guarantees.... Within 60 days
of an election (30 days of a primary), [the Act] would ban GOA TV and radio
ads and appearances if those ads even MENTION a congressman or other
candidate for office." -- The Gun Owners, July 19, 2002
