We're a month away from election day
And groups are preparing to hit the airwaves with commercials
For, and against amendments on the ballot 
But as ABC 27, Jerry Hume reports, some citizens 
 are suing the state of Florida 
to make their voice heard.
For Amendment 4...
As the general election nears, you'll no doubt 
 see even more political advertisements on TV
Many supporting, or opposing amendments on Florida's ballot.
Nathan Worley and three other Tampa Bay area residents, wanted to 
 pool their money together to put ads on the radio.
Against Florida Amendment 4
But when they looked into it they found out in 
 order to make their views known on the air
they would have to form a Political Action Committee.
"That's where we feel like there is a violation of our rights.  Neighbor-to-Neighbor, you can't get together 
 and put some money in together and actually speak out against anything else on the ballot." 
At a press conference in Tallahassee, they say forming 
 a Political Action Committee is a burden.
They would have to register with the State and 
 create and maintain a separate bank account.
So they, along with the National Organization, Institute for Justice, filed 
 a lawsuit here at the US Courthouse in Tallahassee,
challenging the state's campaign finance laws, saying that those laws restrict first amendment rights.
But if those laws were struck down it would mean the 
 public wouldn't know who is behind ads like these:
"The first amendment protects the right of individuals 
 to speak and think for themselves 
and our clients' political message has nothing to do with their identity."
Critics say campaign financing laws are in place to 
 help bring transparency to the political system.
"It's meant to put accountability into our election laws and give the 
 public the knowledge of who is behind these political expenditures."
The Institute for Justice wants a preliminary injunction so that Worley, and 
 his group, can make their opinions known for election day.
