These limits are the same as we see being placed on the GOP and DNC. Do you think all campaign finance reform limits violate the right to free speech? If so, we disagree and won't likely find common ground.

All advertisements should be restricted to positive messages for a particular candidate. Negatives should be strictly prohibited.

That's not limiting contributions, that's restricting what can be said. They're advocating making it illegal to say anything but what they want you to say. That's a violation of the 1st.
