It doesn't. There are some who want you to believe it does, but in effect it doesn't. See the section "The First Amendment," above.

Free speech is for everyone. So when I want to buy an add calling for people to put pressure on our local politicians in either my local paper, on televison, or on radio, I can't do so because I am banned from doing it 60 days before an election. HOWEVER, the local Kansas City Star, which is biased as any paper can be, as well as the local radio and television commentators may comment and run non-stop editorials for their favorite democrat candidate.

Ignore PRND21. He's posed this question on numerous threads, and been answered numerous times. He's posing this question to disrupt threads. Ignore him, eventually he'll go away.

Supporters dispute this [that it abridges the First Amendment], saying that groups and individuals can still run issue ads if they use hard money and disclose the source of the ads.

If you choose to give your money to a political party in order for them to do issue ads, then you no longer have that choice for 90 days of the year.
