It won't.

Americans have strange ideas about their laws and the extent they cover. 
Sometimes to good effect (eg corruption laws) sometimes to bad. For a US
based body to advocate that a non-US citizen exercise their legal rights if
those rights conflict with "US law" is an area that requires careful legal
thought. Remember that US "freedom of speech" is political speech - so the
right to complain about the existing US policies and fight them is protected
not the right to tell people how to violate them.
