A new Florida law prohibits public officials from lobbying while in office and restricts them from lobbying for six years after holding office. Five elected have filed a lawsuit against the new law, saying it prohibits their free speech.
From The Daily Caller:
“It is for this very reason that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution expressly protects the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, along with the rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly,” the lawsuit says.
