Paper is not speech too. Radiowaves is not speech. Electrons is not speech. IP addresses are not speech. Speech is an abstraction, which is realized with material means - including, yes, money. If you ban technical means with which speech is achieved - including banning using paper, or ink, or IP addresses, or money to achieve speech - you are infringing freedom of speech. If you have theoretical right to speak, but are prohibited from spending any money on it, you right remains only theory and can not effectively be realized, and as such worth nothing. If you're allowed to publish your views but aren't allowed to pay for an ad - what use it is, who's going to read it? Limits on spending on speech is effectively limits on speech, plain and simple.
