I thought you might like to read what the SC said about this. The court has given government an extensive role in the area on grounds that there is a fundamental national interest in rooting out corruption or even the appearance of it. That concern justifies limitations on the freedom of speech, the court has said. The case is McConnell v. FEC, 02-1674.
