Breakin’ the (bad) law
In defiance of the blatant attack on everyone’s First Amendment rights, this website will run any ad for any politician seeking election this November, from now until Election Day.
FOR FREE.
McCain/Feingold is a blight on our free society and this site stands in defiance with thousands of other sites who refuse to take one more day of this. This far and no further. The buck stops here. We will stop at nothing less than a repeal of this un-Constitutional law.
If you are a candidate, of ANY political stripe, Democrat, Green, Republican, Independant...I don’t care. I will not refuse anyone. During this period of civil disobedience, i will run any ad from any politician who is legally and officially in a race. Email me at the address to your left and I’ll give you a special code for BlogAds, or we can discuss a custom ad banner or text ad. All free. I’ll even create your graphics if you need that done. Again...free.
Why am I doing this? For one very simple reason.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
McCain/Feingold silences any and all advertising by candidates until the election as of today. This leave ONLY special interest groups with the ability to manipulate and flood the airwaves with whatever message they decide voters should hear. Groups like MoveOn.org, America Coming Together, The Swift Boat Veterans For Truth, and yes, even the NRA has a 527. Whatever side you are on, you cannot want these groups to be the sole voices in the media for the next two months straight.
We, along with candidates for office, are The People, and we are peacably assembling. I think it goes without saying that each of us has a grievance against the government for one thing or another. We have the right to speak about candidates and to have candidates speak to us. This is where left and right, Republican and Democrat, Conservative and Liberal, gay & straight, men & women, we all come together and say “No. You will not destroy our right to share ideas and talk in the public square so that we may determine who we wish to choose as a leader.”
If you have a website, I urge you to do the same.
