reform legislation that prohibits organizations other than political
action committees from mentioning candidates in advertising before
primaries and elections has stifled pro-life groups. That's why
pro-life Congressman Roscoe Bartlett has introduced <a

class="offsite" title="First Amendment Restoration Act">a bill that
would restore the First Amendment Rights</a> of the excluded
organizations.</cite>"</p>
<p>It's not just Pro-Life groups that had their free-speech rights
taken away, groups like the NRA and CAGW are also affected by the
"Incumbent
Protection Act." (That's what the "Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of
2002" should really be called.)</p>
