Candidates of the time of the founding NEVER campaigned nor publicly sought offices. They worked behind the scenes. It is true that there was plenty of personal attacks and lies that were printed BUT NOT THROUGH ADS. Newspapers of those days were openly partisian and everyone knew it no pretension of neutrality.

No one was ever removed from ignorance by a campaign ad, ignorance was generally increased by them. This is an Ignorance Reduction Act in fact.

" This is an Ignorance Reduction Act in fact."

No it's not. Most folks are too busy working for a living to follow and understand all that's going on. That is rightfully so, because folks do have to focus on what's important. This law is a substaital beginning to complete government control of information presentation and access. It is a blatent violation of the 1st Amend in the Bill of Rights. It was conjured up by the socialists, passed as a law by the Congress, signed by the President and "validated" by the SCOTUS in clear violation of the plain English of the Bill of Rights.
