I conclude that under United States Supreme Court precedent, the required disclosure of the PAC's identity in political messages concerning a noncandidate ballot measure violates the First Amendment. (but see nom v mckee, same judge, case about corporations.)

mn citizens for life v kelly 2003 Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life v.Kelley, 291 F. Supp. 2d 1052 (D. Minnesota 2003)
Representative Milbert indicated an unwillingness to broaden the statute unless the legislature was "under a direct threat by a court to do it." (Caliguri Aff. Ex. I.) That day has come. The Court finds that Minn.Stat. § 211B.04 is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. This section does not apply to an individual who acts independently of any candidate, committee, political committee, or political fund and spends only from the individual's own resources a sum that is less than $300 in the aggregate to produce or distribute campaign material that is distributed at least 14 days before the election to which the material relates.
Following the Supreme Court's holding in McIntyre, the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General-which is currently defending the legislation-released an opinion stating that Minn.Stat. § 211B.04 was "clearly unconstitutional." Op. At. Gen., 82t, Aug. 27, 1997.

federal: talley,

mcintyre,
Whatever the motivation may be, at least in the field of literary endeavor, the interest in having anonymous works enter the marketplace of ideas unquestionably outweighs any public interest in requiring disclosure as a condition of entry. Accordingly, an author's decision to remain anonymous, like other decisions concerning omissions or additions to the content of a publication, is an aspect of the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment. 
`there is practically universal agreement that a major purpose of that Amendment was to protect the free discussion of governmental affairs, . . . of course includ[ing] discussions of candidates . . 


    . This no more than reflects our `profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open,' New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 270 (1964). In a republic where the people are sovereign, the ability of the citizenry to make informed choices among candidates for office is essential, for the identities of those who [ McINTYRE v. OHIO ELECTIONS COMM'N, ___ U.S. ___ (1995) , 13]   are elected will inevitably shape the course that we follow as a nation. As the Court observed in Monitor Patriot Co. v. Roy, 401 U.S. 265, 272 (1971), `it can hardly be doubted that the constitutional guarantee has its fullest and most urgent application precisely to the conduct of campaigns for political office.'" Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 14 -15 (1976).
Of course, core political speech need not center on a candidate for office. The principles enunciated in Buckley extend equally to issue-based elections such as the school-tax referendum that Mrs. McIntyre sought to influence through her handbills. See First Nat. Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, 435 U.S. 765, 776 -777 (1978) (speech on income-tax referendum "is at the heart of the First Amendment's protection"). Indeed, the speech in which Mrs. McIntyre engaged - handing out leaflets in the advocacy of a politically controversial viewpoint - is the essence of First Amendment expression. See International Society for Krishna Consciousness v. Lee, 505 U.S. ___ (1992); Lovell v. Griffin, 303 U.S. 444 (1938). That this advocacy occurred in the heat of a controversial referendum vote only strengthens the protection afforded to Ms. McIntyre's expression: urgent, important, and effective speech can be no less protected than impotent speech, lest the right to speak be relegated to those instances when it is least needed. See Terminiello v. Chicago, 337 U.S. 1, 4 (1949). No form of speech is entitled to greater constitutional protection than Mrs. McIntyre's.
When a law burdens core political speech, we apply "exacting scrutiny," and we uphold the restriction only if it is narrowly tailored to serve an overriding state interest

We think the action of the local authorities in compelling the flag salute and pledge transcends constitutional limitations on their power and invades the sphere of intellect and spirit which it is the purpose of the First Amendment to our Constitution to reserve from all official control. Barnette.v W.Va. Board. 
Mandating speech that a speaker would not otherwise make necessarily alters the content of the speech. We therefore consider the Act as a content-based regulation of speech. Riley v Nat'l Fed. of the Blind.

We begin with the proposition that the right of freedom of thought protected by the First Amendment against state action includes both the right to speak freely and the right to refrain from speaking at all.The right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking are complementary components of the broader concept of "individual freedom of mind. Wooley v Maynard.
When a State's election law directly regulates core political speech, we have always subjected the challenged restriction to strict scrutiny and required that the legislation be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest. J. Thomas, Concurring, Buckley v ACLF (1999),

all along the watchtower v stratton.

There are no doubt other patriotic citizens, who have such firm convictions about their constitutional right to engage in uninhibited debate in the context of door-to-door advocacy, that they would prefer silence to speech licensed by a petty official. Watchtower v Statton (2005)

It seems to me  what Justice Stevens here is saying for the court applies to voter ID. A patriotic American voter would be offended at being asked for a voting license, and would stay home in protest, rather than participate in such an indignity. And that harms us all.  

  The rhetoric used in the World War II-era opinions that repeatedly saved petitioners' coreligionists from petty prosecutions reflected the Court's evaluation of the First Amendment freedoms that are implicated in this case. The value judgment that then motivated a united democratic people fighting to defend those very freedoms from totalitarian attack is unchanged. It motivates our decision today. Watchtower v Stratton (2005)
aclf,

watchtower,

citizens united, The Government may regulate corporate political speech through disclaimer and disclosure 

requirements, but it may not suppress that speech altogether - Under this test, Hillary is 



equivalent to express advocacy. The movie, in essence, is a 


feature-length negative 

advertisement that urges viewers to vote against Senator 

Clinton for President. - See more

First Amendment standards, however, "must give the benefit 

of any doubt to protecting rather than stifling 

speech." WRTL551 U. S., at 469 (opinion of ROBERTS,


 C. J.) (citing New York Times Co. v. Sullivan376 U. S. 254, 

269-270 (1964)).
