In the recent transit tax campaign, numerous people declined to assist us for fear of retaliation from their employers. I am sorry to say that this was not an unwarranted fear. Pro-transit tax workers vilified me on their website and attempted to pressure me through my employer. Fortunately, this attempted pressure did not work. Others might not be so lucky.
Citizens initiating their own campaigns is what got America started.
In stirring up revolution in America's Colonial days, individuals and citizens' committees printed and distributed pamphlets and newspapers critical of the British government. So, it seems likely that many campaign finance laws, as currently written, are unconstitutional. These laws should be repealed before zealous government prosecutors further abuse them to stifle dissent. Info By State Look up and access news and information from your home state.
