This is not for commercial purposes, it is political speech, you can use the likenesses. If those people had not joined the political realm on their own they might have a case against Citizens United.
They really are an ugly bunch, even Bennifer does not look that great in the picture.

I heard David Bossie respond to this issue. Apparently, it was discussed with CU's attorneys and there is case law establishing that, once they entered into the political arena, likenesses used in the political arena are not subject to copyright, etc. protections.
(No, I'm not a lawyer; I thought about going to law school, but sobered up before I could enroll.)
