Bentway, > The PEOPLE in unions and corporations already HAVE free speech.

You can't restrict free speech that is exercised through an organization such as a corporation or a union. If you could, you would empower the government to ensure that the right of free speech and the right of assembly can NEVER be exercised together.

No one can gather and speak out against the government, for example, without having to obey restrictive rules and regulations that government officials lay out. And that's a recipe for totalitarianism.

> It's ridiculous to assume the corporation they work for somehow "represents" them.

Is it also ridiculous to assume that the unions certain professionals such as teachers, firefighters, and police officers are forced to join somehow "represents" them?
