"Note well that the First Amendment protects speech — as well as assembly and dissent — only from government interference. “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The First Amendment offers no protection for bilious blather in private settings."

@kevingamin @jeffjarvis I see efforts to equate free speech to paid speech under the guise of protecting speech. Want free speech, well pay for it. Kind of like poll taxes used to protect the privilege of voting.
