MEMORANDUM OPINION
SHARION AYCOCK, District Judge.
Plaintiffs have moved for a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction to enjoin enforcement of Mississippi’s political committee and individual registration, reporting, and disclosure laws (Miss.Code Ann. §§ 23-17-47 et seq. and Miss.Code Ann. §§ 23-15-801 et seq.). Plaintiffs contend these statutes impose an unconstitutional infringement on their rights to free speech and association. This Court held a hearing on November 1, 2011, and heard arguments from both sides. For the following reasons, the Court denies the motion.
