Date Set for SpeechNow.org Case

On April 11 the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear oral arguments in the SpeechNow.org case. SpeechNow.org wants to advocate for the election of federal candidates who favor free political speech, and is challenging campaign finance law that requires the group to register as a political committee, and limits individual donations to $5,000 per year.
