They are planning to introduce a new line of clothing called Scantily Clad with the slogan, So light You Wont Know You are Wearing a Thing! The local television station WBLAH told Candie Cardigan that it would not air such a commercial due to content. Furthermore, that it was not appropriate for children to view it. The Cardigans believe that this is old law and believe that they are protected under the First Amendments Freedom of Speech.

Roni would like for you to analyze case law in your state as well as the First Amendment Freedom of Speech and determine if the Cardigans have a right to have their commercial aired or not.

Your response is to be in the form of a memorandum instructions which are provided below.
