Reply #1: How is their 'free speech' being impacted by this law?

[Old and In the Way]

They can raise all of the money they want from corporations wanting to promote an anti-democratic agenda.

They ought to ban all private funding and just use public funding of elections. In Maine, those that sign up for public campaign funding are very tightly regulated...but there's a good chance that your vote won't be influenced by the money a special interest contributes to your campaign. If the private funded candidate reports contributions over a set amount, the publicly funded candidate gets a dollar for dollar match. Takes the economic incentive out of buying legislative votes. That's the only way democracy is going to survive.
