Claims Law Blocking How Much He Can Be Reimbursed From Donor Funds Is Violating His First Amendment Rights
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is comparing himself to the woman known as the first lady of civil rights, and the mother of the freedom movement, Rosa Parks. Parks famously refused to follow the law, engaging in civil disobedience by refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger.
The far right wing Senator from Texas is suing the Federal Election Commission (FEC), claiming a bipartisan law controlling how candidates are allowed to reimburse themselves from donor funds threatens his First Amendment right to speech.
He claims in a court filing it is like telling Rosa Parks [to sit] in the back of the bus.
Cruz, as Buzzfeed reported in April, is suing to get rid of limits on how much he can reimburse himself for his campaign against Beto ORourke. Cruz loaned his own campaign $260,000, but legally can only repay himself $250,000. He wants the remaining $10,000.

In other words, Cruz who has said LGBT people fighting for equality are on a jihad against Christians says the law is injuring him because he thinks he has a constitutionally-protected right to donor funds.
This is the number one reason and many reasons why Citizens United should be repealed..................because Ted Cruz is having a hissy fit............................
