What the Latest Supreme Court Decision Means To America
January 23, 2010
Dear BSU Partners and Friends,
In an historic ruling last Thursday, January 21 the
Supreme Court of the United States made a bold step
toward more freedom. In a 5-4 vote the Court struck
down laws that banned private companies, corporations
and unions from using their own money to support or
oppose candidates for public office. It leaves in place
laws that prohibit money being given to candidates for
any use. In other words, funds must be used specifically
for expenses of the campaign.
However, the Supreme Court also struck down part of
the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that barred
union and corporate paid issue ads in the closing days
of election campaigns.
The importance of this information to the American
people is spelled out clearly by Justice Anthony Kennedy
who stated, “The censorship we now confront is
vast in it’s reach.” Prior to the decision
last Thursday by the Court, it was believed by many
that the laws that were in place amounted to an unconstitutional
restraint of free speech.
Each step forward in freedom of speech and expression is
important progress for all people who desire to make their
voices heard in our Nation. More importantly, for us at Believers
Stand United and our more than 25,000 partners across America,
this is clear evidence that a positive shift is taking place
in our Country. Each decision like this one is a blow against
those who wish to suppress free speech and a support for those
who wish to foster it.
Thank you for your partnership!
