Again, "speech" is not vocal dictation.
It is a mode of expression of opinion or political standpoint. The MEANING of the phrase is different than the sterile grammatical interpretation.
Not all vocalizations are "speech".
Also, if the individuals of a company all have voices, the company does not have the right to ursurp that right and use it as it pleases. Maybe they should redefine "company" and indeed let it have a voice. One voice.
The hard part comes in proving if they coerced their employees to speak the same (to the tune of $2000 per person, per candidate).
You think, maybe, that politics should be funded fully by the government rather than private interests? You run for office, you are ONLY allowed the cash that the government gives you for it?
NO other private ads or endorsements allowed?
How can you make it so that anybody can run without having to have these backers to fund them?
