Chris, > Individuals are not the concern of the corporation. Corporations are run by individuals. Not robots, not AI management. Each individual has a right to free speech. It doesn't matter whether the speech is political, profit-motivated, etc. The organization, whether in the form of a corporation or political organization, is just a structure where the individuals can pool their resources together and accomplish much more than what the individuals can do themselves. Campaign finance laws already try (but fail) to regulate political ads. Why extend them so that they only stop corporations, but not political organizations? I don't care if the motive is profit. You could say that most in AARP only care about protecting their "profits" from Social Security, for instance. Tenchusatsu
