[EL] "Take A Hike"

[BZall at aol.com]

It would have been nice if you had included some portion of the CPI report  
which quotes the REST of the "federal law" as saying that you certainly can 
 include a candidate's name if the name unambiguously indicates opposition 
to the  candidate. 102.14(b)(3); 
http://www.fec.gov/law/cfr/ej_compilation/1994/1994-5.pdf [Disclosure:  I filed the 1993 Petition for Rulemaking on 
behalf of "Citizens Against David  Duke" to protect the right of 
"anti-"candidate groups to use a candidate's  name in opposition. ] 
 
That would have focused the issue less on the "anti-Hillary" Republicans  
and more on the incompetence of two "Sr. Campaign Finance & Reviewing  
Analyst[s]" in the FEC who can't even bother looking at the actual names of the  
organizations before concluding whether the obvious regulatory interpretation 
 applies. If there were any question, perhaps the FEC RAD could have noted 
that  Stop Hillary PAC has sued the FEC for not ... stopping Hillary and 
Ready  for Hillary.
