McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform (http://www.opensecrets.org/news/campaignfinance/index.asp) - you'll be surprised this guy even claims to be a conservative.

"The crux of the McCain-Feingold bill was a ban on soft money -- unlimited contributions to the national political parties for "party-building" activities. The bill also placed restrictions on outside groups airing so-called "issue ads" that tout or criticize a candidate's position on an issue, but refrain from explicitly telling viewers to vote for or against that candidate."

Basically, it limits how much you can support a candidate and what kinds of political ads you can have. There's a bunch of other garbage in it, as well. It completely ignores the right to free speech.
