"I believe all VOTERS should have free speech. Anything that can't VOTE or HOLD OFFICE has no right to free political speech."

You can't really mean that! Do you hold that political parties can not exercise free speech? After all, parties do not vote, though their members do. Same thing for unions and corporations.

Do you want to limit the activities of, say, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers? Would you block, say, the Sierra Club from campaigning for it's special interests?

As I write this, Andy Griffith is on TV trying to sell me on the wonderful world of Medicare. According to you, that's o.k. if he is truly speaking for himself and at this own cost, but wrong it he's doing so at government expense, because the government can't vote.

What you want is to draw a line and allow those of your choosing onto your side to enjoy what you have, but not those whom you don't like.
