They have not run two paid ads in a row.

As a group of people who have a self-interest in the ads and are experiencing personal loss by them not being run, do we have any basis for a class-action law suit? Are there any First Amendment issues related to this? Should we just sue their pants off on principle?

Could we try? Could we fund it? Do we have the lawyers amongst us who would try it?

What other aggressive options do we have that could be effected in ..... oh two days?

Either way, we should make bad business practice, especially that of restricting political speech, limiting the candidate choices of the body politic and, in effect, working to disenfranchise voters VERY FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!!

NH primary is tomorrow. Why not just focus on canvassing and door-to-door right now? Worry about this later. We need Paul in office now.

A lawsuit would take a week to a month, just to get the papers served. We have 28 days until 40% of the country votes. We can talk about how "we're in this til the bitter end", but if we aren't #1 or #2, or even #3 coming out of Feb 5, then we're done.

There are better things to do here.
