Rocky road:
Article about corporate ads when the name of the corporation is the name of the candidate.
Wierd Al lyrics to Rocky Road.
Here, the candidate is gaming the system, and is within his rights in doing so.
His opponent, a lawyer, is acting tortiously and unethically by filing an FEC complaint, seeking state action to retaliate for protected speech.
I won't get around to sending a stern letter.
The candidate could get into trouble under 'pcra if he continues the ad
within 60 days of the primary. It's corporate funded speech, names the candidate, broadcast to the target market.
Are there examples where the ad ban infringes on routine commercial speech? Say Holly Coors runs for congress. Does Coors Beer have to stop
advertising in Colorado?
