{Kentucky}...Restoring America, an independent political group which supports Republican David Williams, filed a motion Tuesday asking that Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate's order keeping attack ads against Democratic Governor Steve Beshear off the air be overturned. Douglas J. Hallock, an attorney for Restoring America, says the constitutional right of free speech is at issue in a legal action brought by the Kentucky Democratic Party. Wingate issued the restraining order Monday after the Kentucky Democratic Party argued Restoring America violated state campaign finance law by not disclosing who donated $1.3 million in contributions. State law requires such groups to identify their donors in reports to the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance. A hearing is set for Thursday afternoon on a motion to require Restoring America to disclose the contributors.
