Unruh considers the CDCers a bunch of dreamy, troublemaking amateurs. He recently pushed through the California legislature a bill requiring the C.D.C. and similar groups to serve notice on all political advertisements that they are "unofficial" political organizations-and to specify, in large type, that such "notice to voters is required by law."
