Finally, some good news in the free speech department. The Supreme Court ruled today that courts should "give the benefit of doubt to speech, not censorship" in the 2008 political campaign. This can only be good news for any group that is trying to get their message heard in an increasingly noisy atmosphere. You can view the article here:

For years, all I've been hearing and seeing is the erosion of the Freedom of Speech that is so important to America's survival and history. From ridiculous nonsense around derogatory comments about someone's hair style to an ultra-sensitivity towards hate speech. I completely agree with the decision of the Supreme Court on this one. When in doubt, support the right to say what you want even if you don't agree with it.
Maybe this will provide the much needed forum for political interest groups to actually be heard in the wake of the horrible McCain/Feingold campaign finance legislation that is an affront to free speech.
