A funny thing happened on the way to the post office yesterday. Some well-dressed, well spoken people were handing out this leaflet to people standing in line at the post office to pay their taxes.
That’s OK. I support free speech.
But this is the War Election, also known as the Election War, so I found myself asking whether, despite the fact that the leaflets said nothing about the election (much less who to vote for), might nonetheless be some sort of connection between the flier and the, um, general campaign?
Or is this just an odd coincidence that the organization producing this leaflet receives funding from Tides? More here.
I guess McCain-Feingold has nothing to do with early electioneering….
It’s all just a coincidence.
Sick of this election yet?

I believe they’re allowed to do that until 60 days before the election.
After Sept? Who knows?
I would like to break those campaign-finance reform laws but I’m not sure that I can as an individual citizen. I think I’d have to be some sort of PAC.
Yes, I’m sick of this election. I’m sick of John McCain. The only governmental body I can stand is the House, and that’s only because of Tom Feeney and Ron Paul.
One of the forms of protest they advocate is not paying your taxes. I don’t recommend that. I’m about 10,000 in to the IRS for protesting in that manner. They’ll destroy you. Seriously.
