Ante, at 6-7. In drawing this conclusion, however, the Court blurs two distinctions that are critical: (1) the distinction between a private organization's right to define itself and its messages, on the one hand, and the State's right to define the obligations of citizens and organiza- tions performing public functions, on the other; and (2) the distinction between laws that abridge participation in the political process and those that encourage such participation.
