The solons of the FEC are apparently going to allow us to keep our right to free speech. I suppose they expect us all to kiss their rings in gratitude. Well they can kiss my ass.

They should not be deciding who gets to say what and when. The First Amendment of the Constitution is supposed to protect our right to free speech from just such abuses by the government. When free speech becomes something the government can decide to allow you it becomes something they can decide to deny you.

Government does not exist to hand out rights as exemptions to legislation designed to curtail them.

The FEC can take their exemption and shove it. I have the right to speak and I will do so regardless of what the FEC decides to try to do.

"If the FEC makes rules that limit my First Amendment right to express my opinion on core political issues, I will not obey those rules."
