Tuesday, October 17, 2006 Free Speech? What Free Speech?
According to our sources, last Friday Kim Holland had Richard Mildren, a lawyer with Riggs Abney, write threatening letters to "Just The Facts America" demanding that TV stations pull this ad off the air.
Mildren claimed that the ads were "electioneering communications" and that they violated provisions of the Oklahoma Ethics Commission Act.
"Kim Holland appreciates the unique democratic process which welcomes a vigorous campaign," Mildren stated, and then he urged the stations to "cease and desist running any political commercial from Just the Facts America."
Curiously, following his client's lead, he did not deny one single allegation in the JTFA communications.
Yesterday, Just the Facts America's lawyer - the esteemed constitutional lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg - responded with this letter to station managers.
