I think that applying the notion of freedom of speech to a corporation making a donation is weird I don't. Its giving freedom for people to act in concert, and work together for a common cause. Regular for profit corporations have their interests put at risk by regulation and legislation all of the time. It would in my opinion be unreasonable to not let them lobby to defend these interests. And "corporations" doesn't just mean entities like GE, IBM, XOM, and INTC, it includes (non-public) schools and universities, unions, charities, and political organizations.
