Please quit it. Ads aren't run for free.

However, no mention of fund-raising belongs here, on FR. JimRob made that decision, and I AGREE with his conclusion for the self-protection of FreeRepublic. So let's keep the discussion on the legal, political and mechanical aspects of the challenge to CFR.

The subject is too important to get this thread closed as well because I or anyone else fails to follow the guidelines of FR. Okay?

I agree! We've got to abide by the guidelines, which are completely understandable. Who wants thousands of Freepers pitching ads for whatever? Nobody.

And the Internet is apparently just about the last place where freedom of speech still remains. FR is one of the most popular, largest, most influential website--and it is certainly the place where people who want to repeal this ridiculous law, or at least the advertising portion of it, can reach the largest number of people.

Sounds to me like you are asking for money.

Good point, Glenn. -- Campaigns aren't run for free.

I'd be happy to put my name on that ad...

We need to brainstorm and develop and entirely new advertising method that isn't regulated. Such as powerful acoustics in New York City so everyone can hear your message, but nobody knows where it came from. (Or something slightly more unimpossible, but you get my drift.)
