Assume you are a senior manager at Quick Courier Services (Quick), the hypothetical company in this chapter’s Theory to Practice problem. You receive this e-mail from Quick’s CEO:

Quick is considering paying for full-page advertisements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other nationalnewspapers to denounce the members of Cong ress who voted in favor of the national ban on bicycle couriers [see item (1) in the Theory to Practice problem]. However, I recently read about Congress considering a  that bans such advertisements if funded by a corporation. Before I contact our counsel, I would like a one- to two-page background memorandum addressing the question: May Congress ban our advertisements on the basis that they are funded by corporate money and not by individual voters or political committees? Why or why not? Is there any important case law to support your answer to this question?
