Paragraph: 34 - In Buckley, we soundly rejected a cap on a candidate's expenditure of personal funds to finance campaign speech. We held that  a N108* "candidate . . . has a First Amendment right to engage in the discussion of public issues and vigorously and tirelessly to advocate his own election" and that a cap on personal expenditures imposes "a substantial," "clea[r]," and "direc[t]" restraint on that right.
