When the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law was being forced through the congress much of that effort was backed by the political left in order to block grassroots conservative groups from effecting federal elections. Well it seems the chickens have come home to roost. According to complaints filed with the Federal Elections commission controversial filmmaker Michael Moore may have to stop advertising his film “Fahrenheit 9-11” after July 30th. The law forbids corporately funded advertising identifying a federal candidate 30 days before a primary election or 60 days before a general election. There is also the fact that the film’s distributor Lion’s Gate Productions is a foreign company which is not allowed to influence national elections.
