[EL] WRTL v Barland - Victory

[Benjamin Barr]

What happens when a state embraces fuzzy speech standards and feels the
need to check in on everyone's political spending through overbroad PAC
rules?  Predawn raids, political retribution, and the whittling away of the
First Amendment.  So joyous to see an opinion with clear thinking about the
need for protection from ever-intrusive, 24/7 disclosure into the private
politics lives of our citizens.

The opinion is fantastic and is attached here.

Forward,

Benjamin Barr
