The first amendment of the constitution reads as follows:

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

In no way does the amendment address a government's attempt to rally support.

But, there is a possible issue to consider. If the governments strategy included aspects which actively prohibited an individuals rights as listed, then they will have broken the first amendment.
