Fifty-four Senate Democrats voted on Thursday to amend the Bill of Rights for the first time in American history.
The proposed constitutional amendment, which would dramatically curtail American free speech rights, fell short of the 60 votes it needed to advance. The vote split along party lines.
The measure would have empowered Congress to “regulate and set reasonable limits on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elections.”
Its critics said that would amount to a de facto repeal of First Amendment protections for the purposes of political speech.

Please vote !!
I hope you mean against the Democrats, 522!
Amazing that 54 Democrats would rather stay a "Good Ole' Boy" in the "Club" than fight to protect the Peoples' First and Fourth Amendment rights.
That's 54 people to vote against this November. (a month and a half away, folks. Pick your next candidate!)
Those 54 need to be charged with Treason. They will keep voting for this just to get their boy Obama back in as president for another term and for ever your next dictator.
I say shoot them all.
How you gonna get a pig at the trough to stop eating?
Those 54 include barbs mikulski and Ben Cardin
Cardin and Mikulski have got to GO!
