The Idaho House State Affairs Committee has introduced HB 259. It says that any person who spends any amount of money whatsoever for a message advocating the election or defeat of any candidate, or any ballot measure, must identify the person responsible for the mssage. Furthermore, the political party of the person responsible for the message must be disclosed.
The bill covers newspapers, magazines, websites, text messages, yard signs, bumper stickers, pamphlets, display cards, posters, and buttons.
Here is the text.
The bill appears to be unconstitutional under the 1995 U.S. Supreme Court decision McIntyre v Ohio Election Commission.

Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.
If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.
I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.
Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.
If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.
But even if you’re not smart enough to, or have no eyes to see, you’re still smarter than to take seriously the spambot “AZ”

What if, to send a letter to a government official, you first had to pay a fee set by government officials and/or secure a quota of signatures from other citizens? Would that not be censorship?
Then are not ballot access laws also censorship?
A ballot is not merely a ‘letter’ it is an Executive Order by a voter to hire or fire government officials.
Who owns woke joke Wikipedia and why doesn’t the spambot ever ask? What matters is veracity of information. Conservapedia has it. Woke joke Wikipedia doesn’t.
Standing counts, no censorship.
This bill is evil.
Select people will be punished for speech.
Shame to the people who introduced this.
The bill is good. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
