Okay. My point is not that the laws can be easily broken, although of course that's true and irrevocable (what are you going to do, give the candidate a 15-yard, er, 20,000-vote penalty because a supporter broke campaign finance laws?). My point is (1) that these laws can simply be bypassed through independent speech, and therefore are largely ineffective absent comprehensive speech controls, and (2) that these laws have negative side-effects which you are ignoring.
