		Porter's panel deals with many of the budget priorities advocated by Clinton this year, such as education, student loans and job training, and when it finalizes its appropriations bill for fiscal year 1998 this summer, the subcommittee is expected to have some $8 billion to $9 billion more than last year to work with.

		The bill also would have infringed on the First Amendment rights of political parties by severely restricting their right to raise the funds (so-called "soft money") that they use to engage in "issue advocacy," meaning broadcast and print communications that comment on issues and the positions of candidates on those issues.
		If organizations pushing for restrictions on free speech about politicians - - such as Common Cause and the League of Women Voters - - succeed in restricting the rights of political parties in this fashion, the rights of citizen groups such as NRLC would be next on the chopping block.
		Another provision of the Thomas bill would have made it illegal for any member of Congress to endorse the fundraising efforts of any group that mentions the name of a member of Congress (or candidates for Congress) in communications to the public, or even to the group's own members, at any time of the year.

		Of course, if you look objectively at it, you'll realize this country's not obsessed with most serial killers—only the ones that have the good tastes to kill young women.
		And that's why the fascination with serial killers is aimed more at a Richard Ramirez or a Ken Bianchi than a John Wayne Gacy.
		And while that can make for a very successful politician or preacher, it doesn't at all protect us if that person decides that their pursuit of self-gratification requires the torture of others.
