ACTION ALERT.(campaign finance reform legislation)(Brief Article)
February 8, 2001 -- The Senate will soon consider the McCain-Feingold "campaign finance re-form" legislation that would severely restrict the right of NRLC and other pro-life groups to communicate with the public about the actions of those who hold or seek federal office.
It is important for all senators to receive communications on this issue. It is particularly important that Republican senators receive letters and calls in opposition to the McCain-Feingold bill.
All available means of activating grassroots networks should be utilized to galvanize citizen activity on this issue, including telephone trees, church bulletins, call-ins to appropriate radio talk shows, and letters to the editor of local newspapers.
The information below provides basic information. For further information and updates on this and other federal issues, see the NRLC web site at www.nrlc.org under "Federal Legislation."
