The opposition to the campaign reform bill had to do with some rather 
chilling reporting requirements which would require reporting to the President
the names of all people involved with any grass roots effort to influence
the government.  This smacked of Big Brother, and the Democrats were 
unwilling to clarify this provision.  And like most bills these days, the
House members got the text of the bill about 2 hours before the vote was to
be taken.  This could not possibly be an informed vote.
