"No More Blood for Oil" & the First Amendment

Can a person be thrown out of a town hall meeting for a bumper sticker? That is allegedly what happened on March 21, 2005 in Denver. On this date, President Bush was holding a town hall meeting about Social Security reform. At the meeting, three Denver residents were removed for apparently having a "No More Blood for Oil" bumper sticker. I think this is a clear first amendment violation, however, the article talks about the First Amendment violation of the three residents and the presence of state action. So what do you think?
