1. The parties in this case have consented to the filing of this brief.

Letters of consent to the filing of this brief have been filed with the

Court. No counsel for any party authored this brief in whole or in

part. No person or entity aside from the ACLJ, its members, or its

counsel made a monetary contribution to the preparation or

submission of this brief. The ACLJ has no parent corporation, and

no publicly held company owns 10% or more of its stock.

INTEREST OF AMICUS1

The American Center for Law and Justice (“ACLJ”) is a

not-for-profit legal and educational organization dedicated to,

inter alia, the defense of rights guaranteed under the First

Amendment to the United States Constitution. ACLJ attorneys

have appeared frequently before the Court as counsel for

parties or for amici. In particular, Counsel of Record for

amicus was Counsel of Record and presented oral argument for

appellees Emily Echols et al. (minors) in FEC v. McConnell,

540 U.S. 93, 231-32 (2003).

Focus on the Family is a California non-profit religious

corporation committed to strengthening the family in the

United States and abroad. One of its express purposes is to

propagate and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Focus on the

Family’s interest in this case stems from the fact that it is

actively involved in the promotion of the freedom of speech

and expression and actively opposes restriction on private

speech. Focus on the Family distributes a daily radio broadcast

about family issues that reaches approximately 1.7 million

listeners each day in the United States, Canada and around the

world. Focus on the Family publishes and distributes Focus on

the Family magazine and other literature that is received by

more than 2 million households each month. Topics addressed

in the daily radio broadcast and in printed literature published
2

and distributed by Focus on the Family frequently concern

religious expression, freedom of speech, and the right of

individuals, privately, to express their opinions, whether

religious or otherwise. Focus on the Family has, over the past

twenty years, frequently urged its constituents to write or call

their elected representatives to make their views known on

issues associated with pending legislation.

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

This Court should take the opportunity presented by these

consolidated appeals to confirm the constitutional warrant,

under the First Amendment Right to Petition for Redress of

Grievances, for genuine issue advertisements by grassroots

lobbying organizations.

The storied right to petition for redress of grievances is more

than a historical artifact of history. That right, both in its

exercise and in the charters and proclamations affirming it, is

inextricably wound up in the history of this Nation and of

England before it. While Magna Carta, the Petition of Right

and the English Bill of Rights mark the trail leading to it, an

amendment was required to make the right to petition for

redress of grievances fundamental in the federal constitutional

scheme. 

The right to petition for redress of grievances, constitutional

in scope, has been construed by this Court in a series of

antitrust and related cases, to bar the application of normal

principles of antitrust law, under the Noerr-Pennington

Doctrine. In the Noerr-Pennington line of cases, this Court

crafted a rule of exception from the operation of antitrust law.
3

It did so, in principal part, to avoid the constitutional difficulty

that would be presented if the antitrust laws were not

understood to skirt the perimeter of the right to petition for

redress of grievances. In like vein, here, this Court should take

the opportunity afforded by the consolidated cases to affirm the

constitutional dimensions of the right of the people to petition

for redress of grievances. In doing so, this Court should craft

a rule respecting the exercise of that right in the formulation

and broadcasting of genuine issue advertisements during the

statutory blackout periods.

ARGUMENT

I. THE PROHIBITION OF GENUINE ISSUE

ADVERTISEMENTS BY GRASSROOTS LOBBYING

GROUPS DURING THE PERIOD PRIOR TO PRIMARIES

AND GENERAL ELECTIONS DIRECTLY AFFRONTS

THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO PETITION FOR A

REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.

The United States Government does not “take a holiday”

beginning thirty days before primary elections and sixty days

before general elections. Even though Congress recesses in

advance of general elections, seemingly for the purpose of

allowing members the opportunity to campaign last minute for

re-election, the business of governing continues. 

Because the business of governing continues, the business of

the People, that is, the business of giving instructions to their

elected representatives continues. And likewise, the business

of seeking redress of grievances continues. When Congress

enacted the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, it acted
4

2. It has been suggested, with good ground therefor, that the right to

petition for redress of grievances is superior to the other rights

protected from Congressional abridgement by the First Amendment.

See generally Julie Spanbauer, “The First Amendment Right to

Petition Government for a Redress of Grievances: Cut From A

Different Cloth,” 21 HASTINGS CONST. LAW QUARTERLY 15 (Fall

1993).

in derogation of these facts and to the detriment of the right of

the people to petition for a redress of grievances through the

use of genuine issue advertisements by grassroots lobbying

organizations. The right to petition is fundamental,2

 and

warrants this Court’s close guardianship.

A. The Right to Petition for A Redress of Grievances

1. The English Antecedents to the Right to Petition for a

Redress of Grievances

The constitutional right to petition for a redress of grievances

was not fashioned from whole cloth by the First federal

Congress in 1789. An English people had framed this Nation,

and those Englishmen not only knew of Magna Carta, Petition

of Right, and the English Bill of Rights, they had pursued relief

in accord with them before declaring independence. To fairly

get the meaning of the right to petition for redress, a review of

its English antecedents is required.

In June 1215, at Runnymede, England, King John met with

several of his Barons. There, the terms of the King’s

concessions were determined; within several days, the king

signed the Magna Carta, or Great Charter, under compulsion

applied against him by a plurality of his Barons. G. SMITH, A
5

3. That Magna Carta of 1215 was but one of several documents so

called. G. SMITH, at 136.

4. Paragraph 61 of Magna Carta bound the King and his Officers to

make redresses “without delay.” In fact, the provision is quite a

stark authorization of direct, self-help:

And if we shall not have corrected the transgression (or, in

the event of our being out of the realm, if our justiciar shall

not have corrected it) within forty days, reckoning from the

time it has been intimated to us (or to our justiciar, if we

should be out of the realm), the four barons aforesaid shall

refer that matter to the rest of the five and twenty barons,

and those five and twenty barons shall, together with the

community of the whole realm, distrain and distress us in

all possible ways, namely, by seizing our castles, lands,

possessions, and in any other way they can, until redress

has been obtained as they deem fit, saving harmless our

own person, and the persons of our queen and children;

and when redress has been obtained, they shall resume

their old relations towards us.

CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND 132

(Charles Scribner’s Sons 1955).3

 See generally Magna Carta

(http://www.bl.uk/treasures/ magnacarta/translation.html) (last

viewed March 17, 2007). In paragraph 67 of the 1215 Magna

Carta, King John expressly crafted a process for his Barons to

petition for the redress of “transgressions.”4 More important,

perhaps, than that specific provision of the Great Charter is the

persuasive process that led King John to make the concession

of Magna Carta; the process that gave rise to the King’s

concessions serves to this day as a powerful archetype of the

petition process.

Magna Carta simply redressed wrongs. The
6

significant thing is that the wrongs were substantially

those of all bad governments in any age and the

principles of redress have changed but little through

the centuries. Each clause was addressed to a specific

problem, written in direct and simple language,

prepared by practical men who knew what they were

about.

G. SMITH, at 133. 

Some four centuries later, as England moved closer and

closer to civil war, a train of abuses, including denial and

abrogation of rights and privileges confirmed by King John in

Magna Carta, gave rise to the 1628 Petition of Right, 3 Chas.1

c.1. Adopted by Parliament with the support of Sir Edward

Coke among others, see House of Commons Journal Volume

1: 27 May 1628, Journal of the House of Commons: volume 1:

1547-1629 (1802), pp. 905-06, and unanimously even in the

House of Lords, see House of Lords Journal Volume 3: 27 May

1628, Journal of the House of Lords: volume 3: 1620-1628

(1802), pp. 824-26, the Petition of Right pressed the case of

serious grievances by Parliament against the Crown. 

King Charles I took cognizance of the Petition and agreed to

examine the merits of its claims. G. SMITH, at 320. Among the

grievances claimed in the Petition, several stand out: forced

loans to the Crown; arbitrary arrest; imprisonment against the

terms provided in the Magna Carta; interference with property;

abuses of the Great Writ; quartering of troops without

compensation; imposition of martial law. G.SMITH , at 319-20;

e_parliament/transcripts/petition_right.htm (text transcript by

the Parliamentary Archives) (last viewed March 17, 2007). In

laying out the claimed wrongs, Parliament again followed the

model of petitioning the Crown for relief from the wrongs

stated in the Petition.

In the aftermath of the English Civil Wars and the

subsequent ascendancy of William and Mary, Parliament

enacted – with the Crown’s approval – legislation settling the

question of succession to the throne and, at the same time,

confirming expressly the rights of the subjects of the Crown. 

G. SMITH, at 367-68. Those objects were obtained in the 1689

Bill of Rights. 1 W. & M., Sess. 2, ch. 2 (1689)

(http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/ri

se_parliament/transcripts/bill_rights.htm) (text transcript by the

Parliamentary Archives) (last viewed March 17, 2007); House

of Lords Journal Volume 14: 16 December 1689, Journal of the

House of Lords: volume 14: 1685-1691, pp. 372-73; House of

Commons Journal Volume 10: 16 December 1689, Journal of

the House of Commons: volume 10: 1688-1693 (1802), pp.

309-10.

As with the Petition of Right, the English Bill of Rights

contained indictments of prior abuses by the Crown or the

officers of the Crown. Further, the Bill of Rights directly

settled the question of the rights of the Crown’s subjects. Key

rights concluded by Parliament, in the Bill of Rights, to belong

to the Crown’s subjects included: freedom from royal

interference with the law; freedom from taxation by royal

prerogative, that is, without agreement by Parliament; freedom

to petition the King; freedom of Protestant subjects to have

arms for defence, as allowed by law; freedom to elect members

of Parliament without interference from the Sovereign;
8

freedom from cruel and unusual punishments, and excessive

bail; and, freedom from fines and forfeitures without trial. 1

W. & M., Sess. 2, ch. 2 (1689).

2. The American Experience

Just as quickly as English peoples began to settle on the

shores of the American continent, they began to establish

among themselves basic principles of governance. Among

those early charters, the Massachusetts Body of Liberties of

1641 was first to protect expressly the right to petition:

Every man whether Inhabitant or ffoffeiner, free or

not free shall have libertie to come to any publique

Court, Councell, or Towne meeting, and either by

speech or writeing to move any lawfull, seasonable,

and materiall question, or to present any necessary

motion, complaint, petition, Bill or information,

whereof that meeting hath proper cognizance, so it be

done in convenient time, due order, and respective

manner.

SELECT CHARTERS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ILLUSTRATIVE OF

AMERICAN HISTORY 1606-1775, at 73, 75 (Wm. MacDonald

ed. 1899) (hereafter cited as “MacDonald’s SELECT

CHARTERS”). 

Subsequent charters and constitutions affirmed that the right

to petition for redress of grievances was an accepted heritage

of the English colonists in America. See Julie Spanbauer, “The

First Amendment Right to Petition Government for a Redress

of Grievances: Cut From A Different Cloth,” 21 HASTINGS
9

CONST. LAW QUART., nn. 83-87 (Fall 1993) (collecting other

charter provisions regarding the right to petition). By the time

of the meeting of the First Continental Congress, the sentiment

that the right to petition was a fundamental right of the

American colonists was established. In the Declaration and

Resolves, the First Continental Congress expressly declared as

much: 

That they have a right peaceably to assemble,

consider of their grievances, and petition the king;

and that all prosecutions, prohibitory proclamations,

and commitments for the same, are illegal.

Declaration and Resolves, First Continental Congress, 14

October 1774, (in CHARLES C. TANSILL, AND LIBRARY OF

CONGRESS LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE SERVICE, DOCUMENTS

ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE FORMATION OF THE UNION OF THE

AMERICAN STATES 1, 3 (Washington: Govt. Print. Office,

1927)). 

Indeed, the Second Continental Congress approved a Petition

to King George, for redress of the many grievances that were

propelling the colonies toward revolution. See Petition to the

King, 8 July 1775 (in MacDonald’s SELECT CHARTERS, at 381-

85). That plea for redress King George and Parliament alike

rejected; in response, Parliament enacted, with royal

approbation, “An Act Prohibiting Trade and Intercourse with

America.” 16 Geo. III., c. 5 (in MacDonald’s SELECT

CHARTERS, at 391-96). And it was precisely because repeated

petitioning to Parliament and the King had not salutary effect

that the American gambit for independence became

unavoidable. As Thomas Jefferson phrased the problem, “In
10

every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress

in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been

answered only by repeated injury.” DECL. OF INDEP. para. 29.

Given the English precedents of Magna Carta, the Petition of

Right and the Bill of Rights, taken together with the numerous

colonial charter assertions of the right to petition for a redress

of grievances and the extent of colonial efforts to obtain redress

before committing revolution, it is unsurprising, when James

Madison proposed a Bill of Rights in the First Congress, that

he included the right to petition therein. See Annals of

Congress, House of Representatives, 1st Congress, 1st Sess.,

451 (June 8, 1789) (proposing, “The people shall not be

restrained from peaceably assembling and consulting for their

common good; nor from applying to the Legislature by

petitions, or remonstrances, for redress of their grievances”).

Although the right to petition for redress of grievances was,

by this long train of events, enshrined as a fundamental right in

the First Amendment to the Constitution, it would be

misleading to say that it has enjoyed a tenure there unsullied by

instances of disregard. In addition to the threatened application

of antitrust law to petition activities, see Argument II, infra, the

most storied instance of that disregard was the period of the socalled “Gag Rule,” when the House of Representatives adopted

a rule prohibiting citizens from lodging petitions for redress, as

a way to deal with a flood of abolition petitions being presented

to Congress. See Garrett Epps, “The Antebellum Political

Background of the Fourteenth Amendment.” 67 LAW AND

CONTEMP. PROB. 175, 192 nn. 116-17 and accompanying text

(2004).

B. To Survive Constitutional Scrutiny, the Prohibition on

Issue Advertisements By Grassroots Lobbying

Organizations Must Be Limited By An Appropriately

Crafted Rule Leaving Unabridged Those Genuine Issue

Advertisements that Are Protected by the Right of the

People to Petition for Redress of Grievances.

1. The Noerr-Pennington Doctrine: Drawing Limits to

Antitrust Law From the First Amendment

The question whether genuine issue advertisements should

be or are subject to prohibition under the Constitution can be

answered by drawing an analogy to this Court’s development

of the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine. That doctrine is a corollary

of its holding in Parker v. Brown, 317 U.S. 341 (1943) that

“the Sherman Act did not apply to anticompetitive restraints

imposed by the States ‘as an act of government.’” City of

Columbia v. Omni Outdoor Advertising, Inc., 499 U.S. 365,

372, 379 (1991) (quoting Parker v. Brown, 317 U.S. 341, 352

(1943)). The doctrine evolved in three cases decided by this

Court: Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference v. Noerr Motor

Freight, Inc., 365 U.S. 127 (1961); United Mine Workers of

America v. Pennington, 381 U.S. 657 (1965); and California

Motor Transport Co. v. Trucking Unlimited, 404 U.S. 508

(1972). As explained by this Court, “‘Where a restraint upon

trade or monopolization is the result of valid governmental

action, as opposed to private action,’ those urging the

governmental action enjoy absolute immunity from antitrust

liability for the anticompetitive restraint.” Allied Tube &

Conduit Corp. v. Indian Head, Inc., 486 U.S. 492 (1988)

(citation omitted). 
12

5. In California Motor Transport, this Court then applied the NoerrPennington Doctrine to courts, explaining that “[t]he same

philosophy governs the approach of citizens or groups of them to

administrative agencies (which are both creatures of the legislature,

and arms of the executive) and to courts, the third branch of

Government.” Id. 

In California Motor Transport, this Court identified two

grounds on which Noerr rested:

(1) . . . To hold that the government retains the power

to act in [a] representative capacity and yet hold . . .

that the people cannot freely inform the government

of their wishes would impute to the Sherman Act a

purpose to regulate, not business activity, but political

activity, a purpose which would have no basis

whatever in the legislative history of that Act.

(2)The right of petition is one of the freedoms

protected by the Bill of Rights, and we cannot . . .

lightly impute to Congress an intent to invade these

freedoms.

California Motor Transport Co., 404 U.S. at 510 (citations

omitted).5

Important to the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine is what has

become known as its “sham exception,” described briefly by

this Court in Noerr:

There may be situations in which a publicity

campaign, ostensibly directed toward influencing

governmental action, is a mere sham to cover what is
13

actually nothing more than an attempt to interfere

directly with the business relationships of a

competitor and the application of the Sherman Act

would be justified.

Noerr, 365 U.S. at 144. In California Motor Transport, this

Court considered this “sham exception” as it applied to a

situation where one group of highway carriers asserted that

another group had “instituted state and federal proceedings to

resist and defeat applications by [the highway carriers] to

acquire operating rights or to transfer or register those rights.”

California Motor Transport Co., 404 U.S. at 509. This Court

reasoned that the activities alleged would fall under the sham

exception if facts of that sort were proven true. Id. at 515-16.

In Omni Outdoor Advertising, the Court described the sham

exception as “encompass[ing] situations in which persons use

the governmental process – as opposed to the outcome of that

process – as an anticompetitive weapon” and, in the case of

litigation, as involving “a defendant whose activities are ‘not

genuinely aimed at procuring favorable government action’ at

all.” Omni Outdoor Advertising, 499 U.S. at 380 (citations

omitted). 

This Court rejected application of the sham exception in

Omni Outdoor Advertising. In doing so, this Court explained

that, although Columbia Outdoor Advertising “indisputably set

out to disrupt Omni’s business relationships, it sought to do so

not through the very process of lobbying, or of causing the city

council to consider zoning measures, but rather through the

ultimate product of that lobbying and consideration, viz., the

zoning ordinances” and that “the purpose of delaying a

competitor’s entry into the market does not render lobbying
14

activity a “sham,” unless . . . the delay is sought to be achieved

only by the lobbying process itself, and not by the

governmental action that the lobbying seeks.” Id. at 381.

2. The Noerr-Pennington Doctrine reflects the

constitutional right of the people to petition under the

First Amendment.

In Omni Outdoor Advertising, this Court discussed the

connection between the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine and the

right to petition:

While Parker recognized the States’ freedom to

engage in anticompetitive regulation, it did not

purport to immunize from antitrust liability the

private parties who urge them to engage in

anticompetitive regulation. However, it is obviously

peculiar in a democracy, and perhaps in derogation of

the constitutional right “to petition the Government

for a redress of grievances,” U.S. Const., Amdt. 1, to

establish a category of lawful state action that citizens

are not permitted to urge. Thus, beginning with

[Noerr], we have developed a corollary to Parker:

The federal antitrust laws also do not regulate the

conduct of private individuals in seeking

anticompetitive action from the government. This

doctrine, like Parker, rests ultimately upon a

recognition that the antitrust laws, “tailored as they

are for the business world, are not at all appropriate

for application in the political arena.” That a private

party’s political motives are selfish is irrelevant:

“Noerr shields from the Sherman Act a concerted
15

effort to influence public officials regardless of intent

or purpose.”

Id. at 379-80 (citations omitted). In Noerr, this Court declined

to apply the Sherman Act to the efforts of railways to influence

the state legislature and governor in, among other things,

passing legislation that would injure the trucking industry; this

Court said it was basing the decision on the “essential

dissimilarity” between the actions at issue and the traditional

actions covered by the Act and on “other difficulties.” Noerr,

365 U.S. at 136-37. The “other difficulties” referred to by the

Court included that “[t]o hold that the government retains the

power to act in [a] representative capacity and yet hold . . . that

the people cannot freely inform the government of their wishes

would impute to the Sherman Act a purpose to regulate, not

business activity, but political activity, a purpose which would

have no basis whatever in the legislative history of that Act.”

Id. at 137. 

[S]uch a construction of the Sherman Act would raise

important constitutional questions. The right of

petition is one of the freedoms protected by the Bill of

Rights, and we cannot, of course, lightly impute to

Congress an intent to invade these freedoms.

Id. at 137-38. Further addressing the right of petition, this

Court said, “[t]he right of the people to inform their

representatives in government of their desires with respect to

the passage or enforcement of laws cannot properly be made to

depend upon their intent in doing so” id. at 139, and that

[a] construction of the Sherman Act that would
16

disqualify people from taking a public position on

matters in which they are financially interested would

. . . deprive the government of a valuable source of

information and, at the same time, deprive the people

of their right to petition in the very instances in which

that right may be of the most importance to them. . .

. We . . . hold that, at least insofar as the railroads’

campaign was directed toward obtaining

governmental action, its legality was not at all

affected by any anticompetitive purpose it may have

had.

Id. at 139-40.

While this Court, in Pennington, did not explicitly discuss

the right to petition, in California Motor Transport this Court

said that it had “followed that view” in Pennington, referring

by “that view” to the two grounds of the Noerr decision as

identified by the Court in California Motor Transport.

California Motor Transport, 404 U.S. at 510. Also, the

Pennington Court held expressly, “Noerr shields from the

Sherman Act a concerted effort to influence public officials

regardless of intent or purpose.” Pennington, 381 U.S. at 670.

In California Motor Transport, this Court clarified that the

“right to petition extends to all departments of the Government.

The right of access to the courts is indeed but one aspect of the

right of petition.” 404 U.S. at 510.

Summarizing key principles from Noerr and Pennington

regarding the right to petition, this Court, in Professional Real

Estate Investors, Inc. v. Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., 508

U.S. 49 (1993), said:
17

6. This case dealt with the development of a test regarding the sham

exception in as it relates to litigation (that the lawsuit must be

objectively baseless and must conceal an attempt to interfere directly

with the business relationships of a competitor). Professional Real

Estate Investors, 508 U.S. at 60-61.

Those who petition government for redress are

generally immune from antitrust liability. . . . In light

of the government’s “power to act in [its]

representative capacity” and “to take actions . . . that

operate to restrain trade,” we reasoned that the

Sherman Act does not punish “political activity”

through which “the people . . . freely inform the

government of their wishes.” Nor did we “impute to

Congress an intent to invade” the First Amendment

right to petition.”6

Id. at 56.

Of course, the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine is a constitutional

creation responsive to otherwise permissible applications of

antitrust law. Nonetheless, the doctrine’s justification and this

Court’s reasoning in elucidating the doctrine, are suggestive of

the broader application of constitutional principles. After all,

its implications barred this Court from “lightly imput[ing] to

Congress an intent to invade” the freedoms protected by the

Bill of Rights. 

 In BE & K Construction Company v. NLRB, 536 U.S. 516

(2002), this Court discussed interpreting federal law in light of

the right to petition, providing a more complete picture of the

issue and the role played by the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine:
18

7. This case dealt with applying the test from Professional Real

Estate Investors to litigation brought under the National Labor

Relations Act. BE & K Construction Co., 536 U.S. at 526.

The First Amendment provides, in relevant part, that

“Congress shall make no law . . . abridging . . . the

right of the people . . . to petition the Government for

a redress of grievances.” We have recognized this

right to petition as one of “the most precious of the

liberties safeguarded by the Bill of Rights,” and have

explained that the right is implied by “the very idea

of a government, republican in form.” 

We have also considered the right to petition when

interpreting federal law. In the antitrust context, for

example, we held that “the Sherman Act does not

prohibit . . . persons from associating . . . in an

attempt to persuade the legislature or the executive to

take particular action with respect to a law that would

produce a restraint or a monopoly.” We based our

interpretation in part on the principle that we would

not “lightly impute to Congress an intent to invade .

. . freedoms” protected by the Bill of Rights, such as

the right to petition.7

Id. at 524-25 (citations omitted). Through the NoerrPennington Doctrine, then, this Court has sought to avoid the

constitutional difficulties that would result if Acts of Congress

were understood to abridge the right to petition.
19

II. SIGNIFICANT ACTS OF LEGISLATIVE OR

EXECUTIVE POWER DURING THE BLACKOUT

PERIOD ARE SHIELDED FROM CRITICAL

ANALYSIS AND FROM CALLS FOR REDRESS

This Court has expressed, in cogent terms, the inextricable

connection between the right to petition for redress of

grievances and maintenance of a republican form of

government:

The right of the people peaceably to assemble for the

purpose of petitioning Congress for a redress of

grievances, or for any thing else connected with the

powers or the duties of the national government, is an

attribute of national citizenship, and, as such, under

the protection of, and guaranteed by, the United

States. The very idea of a government, republican in

form, implies a right on the part of its citizens to meet

peaceably for consultation in respect to public affairs

and to petition for a redress of grievances.

United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 552-553 (1875). 

Will Rogers famously quipped, “The nation is safe . . .

Congress is in recess.” That view screens reality, which is that

the business of government on the federal level in the United

States is continuous and on-going. Thus, even with respect to

such artificially crafted time frames as the thirty- and sixty-day

blackouts imposed by BCRA, the conduct of the Government

does not cease. 

Even more to the point, the very individuals who enjoy
20

shielding from being named in genuine issue advertisements

continue to govern, either through legislation or administration,

and by the exercise of the prerogatives of office can actively

affect the national conversation about issues of great public

importance. That fact is evidenced by examining artifacts of

that governance from covered time periods. The wrong of such

an approach is evident from the example presented in the

present case.

Here, Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc., sought to use genuine

issue advertisements to address the failure of the United States

Senate to move forward on judicial nominations. WRTL

planned the radio and television broadcasts to take place during

the sixty day blackout period before the 2004 general election.

The FEC presses the point that no judicial filibuster votes

(cloture petitions) were conducted during the blackout period

or for the balance of 2004. Brief of the FEC at 11. That

interesting “fact” studiously ignores the key governance

question: do the legislative and executive branches abandon the

nomination and confirmation processes during the covered time

period?

The simple answer, and the obvious one, is that neither the

legislative nor the executive abandoned the ongoing process of

evaluating and/or making nominations and confirmations. The

President continued to make nominations, see, e.g., 40 Weekly

Comp. Pres. Doc. 2034-35 (Sept. 15, 2004) (nomination of J.

Michael Seabright), and the Senate continued to conduct

hearings, see, e.g., Nominations: Hearing Before the S. Comm.

on the Judiciary, 108th Cong. (Sept. 22, 2004). In the

appendices to this brief, the ACLJ has collected the actions of

the President and of the United States Congress. See generally
21

Appendices A-E. An examination of these artifacts of

government action confirms the fact that significant

governmental activity takes place during blackout periods and

leaves one with the definite suspicion that the silencing of the

people’s right to petition was more than an accident.

In 2004, the general election took place on Tuesday,

November 2, 2004. Sixty days prior to Election Day was

Friday, September 3, 2004. For purposes of the prohibition on

issue advertisments by grassroots lobbying organizations, thus,

the relevant sixty day period blacking out coverage was from

September 3, 2004, through November 2, 2004.

During that covered period, the President conducted the

following business: 

(1) issued four executive orders; 

(2) issued twenty-nine proclamations; 

(3) signed fifty-five legislative acts or bills into law; 

(4) announced thirty-three intentions to nominate; 

(5) announced eight intentions to designate; 

(6) announced forty-three intentions to appoint; 

(7) submitted sixty-six nominations to the Senate; 

(8) withdrew three nominations from the Senate; 

(9) declared twenty-six federal emergencies or major

disasters; 

(10) sent twelve presidential communications to Congress;

(11) sent twenty-one presidential communications to

federal agencies; 

(12) issued three executive notices; 

(13) issued twelve statements; 

(14) made remarks after eight meetings with foreign
22

leaders;

(15) made seventy remarks regarding the 2004 federal

election;

(16) made twenty-two general remarks; 

(17) made seven radio addresses; and 

(18) had two other media interactions. These executive

actions are gathered in Appendix A to this brief.

In 2006, the general election took place on Tuesday,

November 7th. Sixty days prior to Election Day was Friday,

September 8th. For purposes of the prohibition on issue

advertisements by grassroots lobbying organizations, thus, the

relevant sixty day period blacking out coverage was from

September 8, 2006, through November 7, 2006.

During that covered period, the President conducted the

following business: 

(1) issued three executive orders; 

(2) issued thirty-five proclamations; 

(3) signed ninety-one legislative acts or bills into law; 

(4) announced twenty-nine intentions to nominate; 

(5) announced one intention to designate; 

(6) submitted thirty-one nominations to the Senate; 

(7) withdrew three nominations; 

(8) made two recess appointments; 

(9) announced twenty-five intentions to appoint people to

non-principal offices; 

(10) issued one statement on the retirement of a federal

employee; 

(11) declared ten federal emergencies or major disasters;

(12) sent seventeen presidential communications to
23

congress;

(13) sent twelve presidential communications to federal

agencies; 

(14) made thirty-one statements; 

(15) made remarks made after nineteen meetings with

foreign leaders; 

(16) made thirty six remarks regarding the 2006 federal

election; 

(17) made forty-one general remarks; 

(18) made nine radio addresses; 

(18) had three other media interactions; and 

(19) had four miscellaneous occasions at which the

President spoke. These executive actions are gathered in

Appendix A to this brief, at Appdx. A1, et seq. 

Just as the President continued day by day with the

government of the Nation, in both 2004 and 2006, Congress

continued in session into the sixty day blackout period, holding

floor votes, see Appendix B, hearings, see Appendix C, issuing

reports, see Appendix D, and addressing a broad variety of

issues, both those that seem petty and those that were essential

to the national interest, see Appendix E.

An examination of the actions of the President and of the

Congress during these two sixty day blackout periods reveals

both a broad scope of actions and an equally broad sweep of

subjects of governance. Petty matters and vital, each found

themselves placed on the Nation’s center stage by executive or

legislative ipse dixit. But, because of the black-out period, the

floor votes, the nomination hearings and reports, the joint press

conferences with foreign leaders, and the remarks from the

well of the House or Senate, are conducted in a silence that is
24

all the more profound because the voice silenced is the

petitioning voice of the People.

CONCLUSION

The business of government certainly does not cease for

thirty and sixty day periods in advance of federal elections.

Nor will the People consent to being silenced by the legislative

ipse dixit that the business of being governed must be

conducted under cover of silence. Just as this Court concluded,

in the context of antitrust laws, that the First Amendment

required that berth be given to combinations for the purpose of

obtaining a redress of grievances, this Court should undertake

in the present cases to apply a rule that excludes from the reach

of the issue advertisement ban those advertisements that are not

shams upon the public.
