Anyone care to explain to me how a cap on campaign donations violates the 1st amendment stipulation of freedom of speech?

AMENDMENT I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free excersize thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
