Statement in Support of Overturning Buckley V. Valeo in Its 1976 Statement in Support of Overturning Buckley v. Valeo In its 1976 decision, Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court of the United States held that mandatory campaign spending limits are an unconstitutional denial of free speech. We believe that the Buckley decision should be overturned. The decision overstated the extent to which reasonable limits on campaign expenditures impinge on free speech. The Court also underestimated the corrosive effect of unlimited campaign expenditures on the integrity of our political process. We the undersigned call for the reconsideration and overturning of the Buckley decision. This statement was organized jointly by: Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law National Voting Rights Institute U.S. Public Interest Research Group 209 Scholars Opposing Buckley v.

    The International Newsletter of Communist Studies Online XV (2009), no 22 23 Kostis Karpozilos, University of Crete, Rethymno (Greece): Labor Unions, Radicalism and the Communist Left in the Greek-American Communities (1920-1950). PhD Project.1 The aim of my dissertation is the presentation of the activities of the Greek-American left focusing mainly on the 1930s, when they reached their peak due to a series of factors such as the new line of the Communist International, the New Deal, the Spanish Civil War and the emergence of the dictatorship of Metaxas in Greece. More particularly, I intend to demonstrate that the communist left arose as a considerable force within the Greek- American communities proposing a distinct cultural and political program that combined class-consciousness with the process of Americanization. This research sheds light onto a neglected aspect of the history of the Greek presence in the United States since it reveals considerable transformations and changes of allegiances within the communities. Even though the communist left was in no way the hegemonic force among Greek-Americans, a series of sources indicate that it enjoyed considerable support. My research is based mainly on primary sources of the Greek-American left, the newspapers Organosis (Organization), Fone tou Ergatou (Voice of the Worker), Empros (Forward) and Ellinoamerikaniko Vema (Greek-American Tribune), the journal Protoporos (Pioneer), the publications (books and pamphlets) of various parties and organizations in Greece and the archival collection of the Communist Party of the United States. Moreover, I have worked on files of the Greek embassy and consulates in the United States, which are now held in the archives of the Greek Foreign Ministry, while scattered documents of interest have been located in various other institutions in Greece.

  • A PERSPECTIVE on the FREE SPEECH GUARANTEE Dean Alfange, Jr
    A PERSPECTIVE ON THE FREE SPEECH GUARANTEE Dean Alfange, Jr. “The New First Amendment” is an appropriate title for our gathering, for the free speech guarantee, despite the primacy of its position in the Bill of Rights, is, in practical effect, one of the newer additions to the Constitution. When I began teaching Constitutional Law, I could correctly tell my students that no act of Congress had ever been held unconstitutional as an abridgment of the freedom of speech. Yet today, some 40 years later, no term of the Supreme Court goes by without the invalidation of some number of federal laws on free speech grounds. And, 40 years ago, the various provisions of the First Amendment were not held to be directly applicable to the states, although the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment had, since 1925, been understood to incorporate the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee. Prior to then, the Due Process Clause had been held to have a substantive component that protected liberty, but the liberty it protected was limited principally, if not exclusively, to liberty of contract and did not encompass liberty of speech. Indeed, in 1922, in Prudential Insurance Co. v. Cheek, the Supreme Court categorically declared that “neither the Fourteenth Amendment nor any other provision of the Constitution of the United States imposes upon the states any restrictions about ‘freedom of speech.’” Prior to 1919, the Justices of the Supreme Court regarded with contemptuous disdain the very infrequent free speech claims that were presented to it--the lone exception being Justice Harlan, who, in an impassioned dissent in Patterson v.
