Re: Republicans Don’t Trust Americans

You have several things working against you.

Not only does Amendment I apply (Congress shall make no law ... free speech),
there is no Power provided the Congress within the Constitution to 'regulate' or
'restrict' or otherwise 'campaigns'.

Money is most certainly speech -- whether it consists of 'hiring' someone to
best spread your message OR the measure for the success of a business or
enterprise.

You should see what the law professors on the H-LAW mailing list are saying about yesterday's Supreme Court First Amendment decision. Allowing people to purchase political ads and make political films without government regulation is, it seems, the end of the world. -- Kevin Gutzman on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission

the "person" doing the speech is an "individual" then the money end
(advertising access costs) associated with his/her political speech
need not be disclosed... but when the "individual" becomes a
"political advocacy group" of any sort, then where the money comes
from should be disclosed...But, of course, there's a Criminally
Crooked Supreme Court Majority to contend with.....currently.
