I think it's obvious they were not asserting a professional legal opinion when they say "free speech and paid speech are not the same thing". It's disingenuous

I think it's obvious they were not asserting a professional legal opinion when they say "free speech and paid speech are not the same thing". It's disingenuous of you to tell them to "hit the streets", I think that's basically what they're doing at their place of employment that has a significant impact on our elections. I'm not sure what more you want from them.
