Campaign Contributions
First you need to know the current rules for campaign contributions.
Here’s my proposal.
If you cannot vote in an election legally, then you should not be allowed to contribute campaign dollars.
- Special Interest Groups – nope, unless you live in the election area.
- National Parties – nope.
- Corporations – nope, NEVER
- Illegal Aliens – nope.
- Dead People – nope.
- Registered Citizens residing in the county, city, and/or state for the election? YES!
There needs to be a contribution limit per voter, per election. I don’t know what it is, but if an average voter might contribute $100, then perhaps $50,000 would be a reasonable limit for anyone? We don’t want to infringe on anyone’s right to free speech, but we don’t want anyone buying an election either.
Sound reasonable?
