By restricting a candidate's ability to spend campaign dollars, you restrict his ability to speak to potential voters through television, radio, mail and personal appearances. This is the very type of speech the Founders sought to protect with the 1st Amendment. If you support spending limits, you must feel there is too much speech in political campaigns, that candidates communicate too much with voters. Free political discourse, and plenty of it, is infinitely more valuable to the protection of our liberties than any beer or car commercial. Even at a much higher price, liberty would be a much better value.
Voters have minds of their own.
They're not helpless to make their own decisions in the face of political advertising. I urge you to oppose any measure that would ration our Constitutional rights.
