The U.S. Federal Election Commission [3] unanimously dismissed Citizens United [4]'s complaint against the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11 [5]." The conservative group, which previously mounted a failed court challenge against the campaign finance reform [6] law, sought to bar ads for the movie after July 30. Campaign finance reform prohibits companies and unions from running candidate-related ads 60 days before an election and 30 days before a convention. But Citizens United is requesting a media exemption for itself [7], so that it can "run election-time ads for a book called 'The Many Faces of John Kerry [8]: Why This Massachusetts Liberal is Wrong for America' ... and a documentary film on [Kerry] and his running mate, John Edwards [9]."
