> Sorry to send this to you directly - its really intended for the listserv.  I have a question about one specific element in the Crossroads AOR.  In question 2, they describe their intent to include what amounts to "stand by your ad" language. (page 5 of the request) How can including language that exists in the statute only for campaign ads not be the functional equivalent of express advocacy? Doesn't this make it susceptible of no other reasonable interpretation than an appeal to vote for the candidate?
