Free Speech and the Maine Christian Civic League
[Tor's Rants] It's only coincidental that the vote on the proposed amendment and Maine's primary vote are happening about the same time. The fact that the CCL would not be allowed to run their ad under the current election laws shows the great potential for politicians to abuse the laws.
