Fire one.

They have a right to speak. They have no right to be heard.

Fire two.

Their right to disseminate ends at the point it requires

• my time;
• my treasure;
• my facilities of any type

for their pronouncements.

Their right to disseminate ends at the point it requires...

Exactly!

Which goes back to my point about an educated populace.

How is spamming any different than receiving junk mail?

I think you pretty much got it right. I want to emphasize, though, that the criteria you listed have nothing to do with whether or not the communication is commercial, or indeed what the content of the communication is at all. So that's why I get nervous when I hear the courts start splitting off different types of speech and saying this is OK, but that's not. The legal issue should always be how the information is disseminated, not what is being said. (unless, of course, the "what" consists of such things as threats, lies, etc.)
