Yes, actually you do if there's a fire. However, the phrase you've used above comes from a Supreme Court case wherein several antiwar activists were arrested, charged, and convicted for passing out flyers encouraging men not to report for the draft, World War One era. The case has since been reversed, you can now post, distribute, or display almost anything. The particular message in this story is absolutely protected speech and if this gentleman wishes to do so, he would likely win a lawsuit against the US government.

I wish him well.
