Catos_Ghost

This is 1000% a scam. There's only so many times someone running for public office can REFUSE TO SAY HIS LAST NAME before they lose the benefit of the doubt.

Dude, you've been asked like 5 times now. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? You come across as someone scamming for donations.

Wow, I had no idea you co-wrote Rome's Last Citizen. I would just like to thank you for an excellent biography of a figure whom I feel has been criminally neglected by modern historians. It does an amazing job interrogating the man behind the myth, without sliding into either hagiogrophy or contempt the way most contemporary discussions of Cato tend to do.

It seems the problem here is lack of oversight and enforcement of existing laws. Have you ever considered also reaching out to gun rights groups? It's not like gun control groups are the only ones who care about domestic violence.

It's not that money is literally speech, but practically, if you want your speech to reach farther than the room you're currently sitting in, that's going to cost money. Buying ads, distributing flyers, hell even taking the afternoon off work to attend a rally all cost money.

It's the same reason why the government requiring a license to purchase large quantities of ink would be a restriction on free speech. It's not because barrels of black pigment are literally speech in themselves so much as they're a necessary tool for the dissemination of speech (i.e., newspapers can't be printed without ink) (this is an old, pre-internet metaphor, but the reasoning still applies)
