The Judge's problem with the list is that it gives preferential exemption to charitable (and political) organizations.

In this case, the Judge seems correct. Shades of the Campaign Finance Act and its preferential exemptions.

The solution to that is to ban ALL of them! No more preferential treatment!

I will not give to a charity that calls me at home. Too many scams get run that way.

And politicians don't need to call me to support their ad campaigns so that they can sling mud.

i give to charities that I chose, and support candidates who respect me.

Tax laws are preferential to charities and political campaigns too. Will this judge throw out the tax code?

If so, excellent. I've long been an advocate of two or three lists. Commercial, political, and charitable. Give us the right to ban all three.

Besides the commercial businesses are already getting around the law by having giveaways, thus they are calling under the charitable exemption.
