Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance to Sue State Over Compelled Speech Requirements Government demands for irrelevant information violate First Amendment, lawsuit says Boston, MA  – Today, Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (MassFiscal), a nonpartisan nonprofit represented by the Institute for Free Speech will file a federal lawsuit alleging that some Massachusetts campaign finance laws are unconstitutional. Unlike most states, Massachusetts requires ads that name candidates within 90 days of a general election to include a statement from a principal officer of the organization running the ad, a list of the organization’s top five contributors, and a link to a government website. The group believes this information is irrelevant and cannot be required in disclaimers.

Over 1,000,000 residents of the Commonwealth turned out to vote in the recent state primary election held on September, 4, 2018!
