Contrary to what people often claim, the government making any decision at all about what is and is not speech, or political speech, does not cause immediate free speech violations.
Yes, the government decides all the time, in a long standing and well studied legal history, about what is or is not speech.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that the primary purpose of the court system, with regards to free speech cases, is deciding what does or does not count as speech.
