Freedom of speech protects citizens from government oppression for voicing unpopular opinions; it doesn't play a role in regulating private commerce.

I think you're missing the point... I selfishly want Pattison to run the ad (without any concern for their bottom line, I admit) in order to generate discussion on the topic. That's what I meant. I thought that was implied. I am fully aware Pattison doesn't have to do anything they don't want to, I've mentioned that several times over already in this thread.
