You can run whatever ad you want. You just can't give unlimited amounts of money to a political party so THEY can run the ad.

Whatever happened to free speech?

Is there really too much money spent on political speech? Say, in comparison to discussions of Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, and the AFLAC duck?

The Court must put some distinction on the word "free". If the speech is "paid" campaign advertising, the Court must consider that it is not "free" and therefore the Court must feel it is not covered under the First Amendment. Besides, if it is "paid" speech, it must be covered under the Commerce Clause giving Congress the right to regulate it.
