Billybob signing in, sir.

I just heard this morning from a friend in the Midwest, with contacts in several western states. It looks like this idea of civil disobedience to attack CFR will not happen solely in Western Carolina. It looks like several congressional candidates in several states will all do the same thing at the same time, namely run ads that deliberately and aggressively violate the CFR.

Of course, the ads that deliberately violate the CFR cannot be broadcast until the 29th day before the primaries in the respective states. However, print media ads (which are not barred by CFR) can be run before that to announce what is coming. The date of the primary in NC is currently up in the air since the election law was found unconstitutional and is now being rewritten, and after that will surely be subject to another constitutional challenge. Bottom line, the NC primary will probably be held in September. That means the in-your-face TV ad cannot be run until August.

I am pleased that it looks like this will become a national effort, rather than merely a single effort by me in the 11th District of NC.

Respectfully Submitted,

John / Billybob

P.S. Valin, feel free to carry this response forward to other threads, since the message will be useful to all who are interested in this effort.

It would be nice if we could get some repeal legislation in motion before the 60-day suppression.

Great news! Made my day guy!
If you have any URLs you'd care to share it would be appreciated, as I've been looking for just this sort of thing but so far picking a slim.
