Congress has regularly and routinely regulated speech.

Do you believe the Congress did not have the power to stop the Hitler Youth from organizing and giving speeches for the Fuehrer during World War II? Or that they cannot prevent Al Queda from recruiting within this country?

Advertizing is NOT identical with speech and as a part of the manner of elections can be regulated.

Advertizing is NOT identical with speech and as a part of the manner of elections can be regulated.

If the advertisement contains speech, then it is speech. The power to control the manner of elections does not include the power to stifle the speech of those who are seeking office or those who support them. If the first amendment cannot protect speech regarding who is or is not allowed to rule over us, then the first amendment is a meaningless phrase in a meaningless document.

BTW, Your handle is fitting. You don't support free speech so your handle is "shut up and take it." Interesting.
