On March 24th, former Solicitor General Ted Olson will argue against the Obama Justice Department in our landmark challenge to the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. With your help, Citizens United produced Hillary The Movie in 2007. What you may not know is that the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) prohibited us from airing the 90 minute documentary on television because, in the FEC’s view, the film is the functional equivalent of a 30 second campaign advertisement. The same thing happened to our documentary on Barack Obama, HYPE: The Obama Effect, just a few months later. We’re arguing this landmark case to ensure that your freedom of speech remains intact, even if politicians don’t happen to like what’s being said.
As the New York Times said today, “There are two basic questions before the court: Is the film the sort of “electioneering communication” that the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law of 2002 says may not be broadcast in certain time windows before elections? And if it is, can the law itself then be squared with the First Amendment?”
We’re fighting to ensure that the government can’t interfere with your right to free speech, but it is up to you to exercise that right! So if you want to see what the Obama Justice Department doesn’t want you to see, go to http://www.hillarythemovie.com/ and http://www.hypemovie.com/ and order your copy today!
