e.thePeople : Article : Should the FEC ban ads for Fahrenheit 9/11?: "WASHINGTON, DC -- The attack on Michael Moore's new documentary, 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' shows that free speech has come under an unprecedented assault in America, thanks to the campaign finance law passed by Congress last year, says Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik.

'The Constitution is on fire -- a fire that was set when Democrats and Republicans passed their so-called campaign finance reform law,' says Badnarik, who was nominated by the party on May 30. 'The attempt to gag Michael Moore demonstrates that McCain-Feingold was just an excuse to outlaw political criticism.'

Under an advisory opinion from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Moore may be prohibited from advertising his controversial new documentary, which is sharply critical of President Bush, after July 30. Under McCain-Feingold, corporate-paid radio or TV ads that identify a federal candidate are illegal to broadcast within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. "
