COAST Files Brief in Supreme Court Case
COAST filed its Brief for Petitioners in its challenge to Ohio's Unconstitutional Political Speech Regime. Oral Argument is set for April 22, 2014.
COAST legal team, led by Chris Finney and Curt Hartman have been aggressive defenders of economic and political freedom and we are proud and excited to be a part of this fight to end the practice of political hacks attempting to regulate the marketplace of political speech. This case is a major battle in the fight against the overreach of government functionaries that threaten to oppress Civil Rights and Liberties.
We hope and believe that the Supreme Court will use this case to clarify the law demanding unfettered political speech and breathe life into the First Amendment.
COAST extends our thanks and appreciation to Finney and Hartman for their often thankless efforts in the fight against tyranny.

Thoughts on Obamacare arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court
In a manner similar to the effect that the debate over TARP, Stimulus I and Stimulus II, and ObamaCare has had in igniting a movement that is still moving America forward (i.e., the Tea Party and a new awareness of the Constitution and its meaning in our governmental structures), the legal challenge to ObamaCare seems to have awakened an awareness in the Judiciary that they are the last defense citizens have against a federal government that seems to know no limits to their authority.
We may still see our hopes dashed that these nine men and women will strike down this obviously unconstitutional legislation, but the comments made during oral argument at the U.S. Supreme Court this week seem to have given despair to liberals and encouragement to conservatives and libertarians, in part that the "Commerce Clause" to the U.S. Constitution does not give unlimited power to the Congress.
And once we start to exercise that muscle of recognizing the constitutionally limited nature of the federal government, there may be significant direction the Supreme Court can take America to check the reach of an otherwise out of control Congress and Presidency.
In the meantime, we like everyone else, will wait, but consider COAST "heartened" by the advent of common sense that seems to have sprung like Cherry blossoms in D.C.
It won't last long, but it might last a while.
