This looks like an attack on “freedom of speech”.
I wanted to say: "I strongly disagree", but had my doubts about semantics.

I looked it up:
Quote from:
the right to express any opinions in public[/qutoe]

The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I still strongly disagree again with what you said. Freedom of speech means nobody, and especially the government, is allowed to force you to keep quiet on any subject. But it seems totally fine to me to pay someone to say something. That's like a job, and if you take the job, you'll have to do it.
