Repeal the First Amendment?

Quote:I recently read a book that brought this subject up.  I won't name the book just yet, but this particular part really disturbed me.

 

Question.  Would it bother anyone if members in Congress not only introduced, but passed a bill that would amend The Constitution (Bill of Rights) to give Congress the authority to regulate political speech?

 

Specifically, Congress would have the authority to “regulate and set reasonable limits on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elections.”  Would you support such a bill?  Why or why not?
 

I hope you understand, you cannot repeal the First Amendment by passing a bill in congress.  

 

And no, I would not support any effort similar to what you are describing.   I don't believe it is constitutional to regulate political speech, and that includes campaign contributions.
