The court also upheld restrictions on political ads in the weeks before an election. The television and radio ads often feature harsh attacks by one politician against another or by groups running commercials against candidates.

If this is an accurate report of the portions of the CFR upheld by the SCOTUS, I hearby pledge to form a small group - one who would be covered by this law - and to run a political ad in a local paper against the representative(s) of our choice within 60-days of the first speech-restricted election. I will do this in open defiance of this unconstitutional law.

When you do so, please detail your intentions here in advance and ping me. I would like to have my name listed in the ad along with yours.

No newspaper around will accept your money...they'll be afraid of the consequences.

I, for one, will never again vote for George Bush.

That paper will refuse to accept the ad, though. The papers and other media are going to understand how this works, even if you don't.
