Corporate speech

This issue is coming to a head. From NPR: The question always is: Who does the First Amendment apply to? Do only individuals have the right of free speech? Or does this right extend to corporations and unions as well?... Ronald Bailey replies: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...." So my naive constitutional question is: What part of "no law" don't the courts, NPR, and campaign finance and speech "reformers" understand?

A good article with interesting links to sources.
