clearly that FEC law has just been trumped by this. the "candidate" may be able to run his own ad, but not an advocacy group. so who is the candidate?

[Congressman Billybob]

Problem solved. A candidate and 999 supporters "sign" the ad. They call themselves an "advocacy group" to challenge the law, but they include the candidate so the station MUST run the ad.

Ad ad run decades ago on a national radio network used the word "Bullsh*t" to describe the Republican and Democrat Parties jointly. The network HAD to run that ad for Barry Commoner, the Citizens Party candidate for President. A friend of mine wrote that ad. It got a ton of free ink. We can do the same, but without the bad language.
