"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or the press . . . "
Those organizations are groups of citizens who have formed for a specific political reason. If they are silenced during an election period, then one of the major voices that the American people have has been silenced. PLEASE explain to me how that is not unconstitutional.

Um no.... Thats an invalid summary. The act is mostly about stopping LARGER companies setting up puppet non-profit groups or using already existing groups that are exempt form the rules to FUNNEL MONEY into advertisments without having to take responsibility for what happens to the money after they hand it over.
It also keeps everyones speech FREE by trying (but failing) to close loopholes that make the freedom no longer free by giving groups with shitloads of money the ability to override the speach of others.

Again... no. Only groups of citizens that had MONEY FUNNELD INTO THEM FROM A LARGER COOPERATION.
There are many groups that dont accept cooperate money that are exempt.
