A group of citizens in the State of Rdsx gets enough valid signatures on a petition to put a referendum on the ballot that would require the state legislature to adopt a state holiday on Ted Williams’s birthday. An all-sports radio station sells advertising time to those who favor the holiday but refuses to sell time for advertisements against the holiday. The anti-Williams group tells the station manager that under Section 315, the manager must give the group “equal opportunity.” Who is correct, and why?

What will be an ideal response?


Section 315 applies only to legally qualified candidates running for elective office. It does not apply to ballot issues such as referenda.
