Lawsuit Filed To Challenge Legitimacy of FEC (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, April 23, 2002)
- Our firm filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on behalf of Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas), Gun Owners of America, Inc., Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund, Real Campaign Reform.org, Inc., Citizens United, Citizens United Political Victory Fund, Carla Howell, Libertarian Party candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, and Michael Cloud, Libertarian Party candidate for U.S. Senate from Massachusetts.
This lawsuit charges that both the new Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) and the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) violate the First Amendment protection of Freedom of the Press today. Other lawsuits filed after President Bush signed the BCRA in March challenged the new law on grounds that it violates the First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech. But today's suit is the first to argue that BCRA violates Freedom of the Press, which the complaint says "belongs to the American people," and not just to the institutional corporate press, such as The Washington Post or CNN.
A Gun Owners of America press release is available, New and Existing Campaign Finance Laws Violate Freedom Of The Press -- Lawsuit Filed Today Is Fundamental Challenge To Election Laws. More information about the lawsuit is available at realcampaignreform.org

This U.S. Border Controll Press Release discusses the National Voter Registration Act, commonly known as the Motor Voter law, and the upcoming election.
Campaign Finance Limitations Case, (U.S. Supreme Court, June 7, 1999)
- Our amicus curiae brief, challenges the entire scheme of campaign finance regulation as an impermissible restraint on free speech, designed to protect incumbents from challenges and to preserve the media's powerful voice as the only entities able to spend an unlimited amount of money on elections. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed.
Testimony Before Federal Election Commission on Proposed Membership Regulations (March 17, 1999)
- This testimony, presented before the six-member Federal Election Commission, opposes efforts designed to restrict the definition of membership so that PACs associated with nonprofit advocacy groups would be curtailed in their campaign involvement. The positions advanced were largely successful. The FEC's final regulations were issued July 30, 1999.
