The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act is a remarkable bill and should not be repealed. I would also like to add that the title of this bill is very misleading. I yield.

The Act reduced the power of PACs and gave more money in the hands of individual donors. While the 527 outbreak was undesirable, it was certainly better than the vast PAC movement that preceeded it. I urge my fellow congresspersons to vote down this bill. I yield.

As such, I stand opposed to this bill.
