I've read with interest your attempts (via your campaign organization) to stifle ads and other communications that are negative about you. You call them lies and dishonesty, but they are, in essence, just negative ads. I'm sure you have a college degree and law school degree behind you, but I'm not sure you learned anything. Let me help you out here: First, the Constitution of the United States guarantees me that I am free from government censure because I hold certain views and express those views in a non-threatening way. Secondly, and you really must have done poorly in your American History classes not to know this, but campaigns are by their nature negative and cantankerous. Everyone running says something negative about the other guy.
This means, my dear Senator, that your attempts to stifle the ads in question (and here is one for you:
have only inflamed the blogosphere and are bringing more and more negative attention to you; and well deserved negative attention it is too.
Recently, you and your minions enlisted three individuals in the great state of Missouri to cajole and threaten individuals/stations whoever with prosecution. Well, Senator, this blog is viewable in Missouri, so prosecute my butt if you are man enough! No? I didn't think so!
At least thats how I see it on this side of the Pecos River!
Most Sincerely Yours,
Tex
