This is a close call.... mike.....Freedom of Speech is Freedom of Speech..... but, like I said elsewhere... political donations... money... is not speech (in my opinion). I would think that, as long as the "person" doing the speech is an "individual" then the money end (advertising access costs) associated with his/her political speech need not be disclosed... but when the "individual" becomes a "political advocacy group" of any sort, then where the money comes from should be disclosed...But, of course, there's a Criminally Crooked Supreme Court Majority to contend with.....currently. http://van-ezproxy.vancouver.wsu.edu/pag/index.html U.S. Chamber of Commerce http://www.uschamber.org E-Mail: [email protected] 1615 H St. NW Washington, DC 20062-2000 Phone: 202-659-6000, 800-638-6582 Fax: 202-463-3190 "We protect and represent you so your business can grow and prosper in a free market economy."
