You don't get the point. I am not relating campaign contributions to civil rights in the South, although it should be my right to donate as much as I want to anyone I want. In the 50s and 60s, the NAACP under cover of different groups waged a political war on pro-segregation politicians. The NAACP would create several political groups with names that were nowhere close to NAACP, because they knew that just that name would turn off several people who might otherwise agree on civil rights. With this law, govt takes away the right to be anonymous, by which most Americans participate in the election process. "People against Prescription Drugs" should be able to lambast Bush two days before the election for bloating the govt budget and burdening our next generation with huge tax increases. Not anymore.

Your ad can easily be run just fund it through hard money donations and you will have no problem. The only problem is if "Sneaky Backbiting Bastids" gets a million from Soros to concoct a Lie that Bush sat down with Osama Ben Laden and planned 9/11 and runs it as an ad after the deadline for Stealth Lying passes.

I hope you realize that there was great difficulty in having a violation of this policy in order to challenge the law. No real political groups violated it so the ACLU ran one political ad WHICH IT HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY explicitly so that it could challenge this law.

Oh, and I do get the point wrt to the NAACP none of their actions would be affected by CFR. It could still form the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committees as it wished since these were NOT related to electoral politics.
