FROM ASSURED GUARANTY. It’s not often you can describe a new fi nancial company as being “proven” and “trusted.” But right from the start, Municipal Assurance Corp. is backed by $1.5 billion in claims-paying resources. And as part of the Assured Guaranty group of companies, we don’t have the start-up risks you get from a start-up. How else are we diff erent? We have the proven underwriting and surveillance capabilities already in place. We have the experience and the economy of scale you’d expect from a proven leader that’s helped over 11,000 municipal credits reduce financing costs. And our investments and insured portfolio generate positive earnings, from day one and for years to come. So if you’re looking for something new in muni-only bond insurance, look no further than Municipal Assurance Corp. Visit us online at MACmunibonds.com Municipal Assurance Corp. New York, New York.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. Google, Charlottesville, and the Need to Protect Private Employees’ Political Speech INTRODUCTION Consider that you are the owner of a popular hot dog eatery in Berkeley, California. One day in early August, after a long day of sausage sales, you return home and turn on the news, only to see the face of one of your employees participating in a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.1 The next day, a popular Twitter account releases a photo of your employee, mentioning your restaurant, and calling on you to terminate the employee. You find yourself in a tough position. On one hand, you are in charge of a private entity (the hot dog restaurant), with a reputation and legitimate business interests that could suffer due to your continued employment of a known neo-Nazi. On the other hand, you are a steadfast supporter of free speech, and have serious doubts about allowing a Twitter account to dictate your employee’s right to assert his or her sociopolitical views off the clock, while maintaining a job.

Box 18965 • Washington, D.C. 20036 • Phone: (202) 802-0437 • http://www.rnla.org For Immediate Release Contact: Christina Norton November 8, 2019 (202) 802-0437 Lee Goodman Honored as 2019 Republican Lawyer of the Year Washington, D.C. — The Board of Governors of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) has named Lee Goodman of Virginia the 2019 Republican Lawyer of the Year. Mr. Goodman was selected in recognition of his outstanding professional accomplishments and years of tireless dedication in service to the Republican Party. He will be honored at a reception in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, November 13. RNLA President David Warrington said of this year’s honoree: “Lee is a great lawyer dedicated to defending the First Amendment and the rights of all Americans to participate fully and freely in the democratic process of our Republic. Lee led the fight to defend those rights during his tenure as a commissioner and chairman on the Federal Election Commission. He continues to lead this fight as a lawyer in private practice through the clients and cases he takes, writing thought-provoking commentary, and as a public spokesman for the First Amendment. Lee is also a mentor freely giving his time, advice, and encouragement to numerous lawyers. Many lawyers serving at very high levels in this administration were mentored by Lee and continue to seek his advice and guidance. I am proud to call Lee a colleague and even more proud to call him my friend. I can think of no one who is more deserving of the honor of being the Republican National Lawyers Association’s Lawyer of the Year.” RNLA Chair Manny Iglesias agreed: “For decades, Lee Goodman has served as one of the nation’s leading champions of liberty and justice.
