KLEEFISCH: CENSORING SENSENBRENNER

So if you're a member of Congress and you want to send out more than 499 pieces of mail, you have to go through this newsletter vetting process at the franking commission-- the body that approves all official mail. The problem is, some GOP congresspeople seem to be going through this process again and again trying to explain to constituents what's on their minds, but still pass inspection with the Democrat-run proof-reading police. It's proven to be a long, annoying road for congresspeople like Wisconsin's Jim Sensenbrenner, whose newsletter is in its third draft and counting. Why can't they just say what they want like the 1st ammendment is supposed to allow them to? The commission says the newletters sound too political. Okay. You go ahead and enjoy that cap and tax, then...

    This is too shocking to even comment on. I am shocked, stunned, and angry! How on earth can this system be in place. Why and the heck does ANY Congressman/woman stand for it! These are CONGRESS members, surrounded by political staff and minds, right?
    I'm angry at them, but not as much as simply learning of the fact that this system even exists here, right here, in Wisconsin, USA. Is there any hope of our children still being able to recognize the country of their grandparents?

    WOW- these posts over the last few days directly point to the fact that we ARE losing our first amendment rights. There is a revolution in the making and the left are the ones pushing it to the boiling point.

    This crap needs to stop period. Anyone who votes for a democrat ever again needs to have their head examined.

    While I don't have a problem with bringing the issue to light, I do have to wonder...if it's so important to him to inform his constituents, why doesn't he just pay for it with campaign funds?
