    Go try to buy a human organ. It may not be impossible to stop you, but it sure is hard to accomplish and you take a pretty big risk of prison time.

    Yes, you can effectively stop people from spending their money on bad things. Money isnt a god.

    I get your thinking but you out of target: I am talking about something legal (buy billboards or TV times) and you about something illegal, it is not the same thing.
    It is like buying cocaine and a boat: you can stop me from buying cocaine because it is illegal but you would have a hard time to stop me from buying a boat, which is legal even if you don’t like boats.

    Bad things means illegal things, not things that you don’t like.
    And how can be illegal to say that you support some politician and buy with your own money at your own name a billboard to write “support [candidate] because he is awesome”. ?

      And you are back to the problem of what used to be illegal is now legal. It doesnt need to be legal.
