My concern is that you'd be convicted (or your corporation, if you manage to shield yourself) by a jury that believes in CFR, which I think most Americans unfortunately still do.

Whether that helps or hurts your personal candidacy for Congress is an interesting question, but a jury verdict which supports the bill is NOT helpful to the repeal of CFR.

And that is not an unrealistic outcome, especially if the ad is an "in your face" type of ad.

I'm not opposing your idea. I'm still trying to understand whether or not it's a good one.

If an innocent citizen is sent to jail because of criticizing the government, that demonstrates how unconstitutional, un-American, and unjust this "campaign finance reform" is. When people see just what this unconstitutional law means, they'll be demanding its repeal.
