In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

No, if an organization is given a lot of money for political opinions, it is like a vote and should be allowed to use it to fund political change.
@6TS33SC2yrs2Y
No, but instead make all donation numbers anonymous to preserve nuetrality.
@93HQV8K2yrs2Y
No, but all campaigns should be limited to a total amount of funding they can accept there is a fair and even playing field for all candidates.
@93DS58S2yrs2Y
No, individual donors should be allowed to contribute as much as they want to candidates. But Corporate donations should be prohibited.
@88LK76J2yrs2Y

@89CDM9C3yrs3Y
No, but a donor should be one individual person, not a corporation, union, or any other group. Political campaigns should also be tax exempt non-profits (repeal the Johnson Act).
@842VWLK3yrs3Y
yes, but do slightly increase the amount someone can donate so that it can be a bit more competitive.
@8M94PFW3yrs3Y
Candidates should be funded only by individual voters.
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
Yes, end all corporate lobbying, but publicly funded elections are fine.
@8SXSTLG3yrs3Y
I don't enough knowledge about this to care
@8SGXQ5C3yrs3Y
No only for unions and corporations
@8QZJMDF3yrs3Y
No, nothing can stop this, you're just making it less transparent
@8QPW6L23yrs3Y
Yes, but pass a constitutional amendment when doing so.
@8P6PWZP3yrs3Y
No, only for private donors.
@8PXJBZS3yrs3Y
Yes - AND the donor should be a registered voter living in an area represented by the candidate.
@8PQPWS73yrs3Y
Private donors: no, as long as it's made public Corporate entities and the elite should not be able to fund a candidate.
@buday4vancouver3yrs3Y
No, but only from individuals who can vote for them.
@8P35L6M3yrs3Y
No, as long as all donations of 3,000 dollars or more are public knowledge.
@8NXSCW23yrs3Y
No, we should have blind elections. This would eliminate personality over politics and political rallies have become obselete.
@kgtiberius3yrs3Y
There should not be a limit on donations from private USA citizens; however, there should be a limit on donations from any organization, company, group, NGO, pact, etc.
@8LWQF5T3yrs3Y
No, voters may donate money to candidates. However, candidates and elections should receive a baseline public government fund.
@8LG9WPJ3yrs3Y
All donations should be public knowledge. Acceptance of foreign donations should be grounds for barring candidates from holding office in the USA. Corporate donations should be limited & evidence of pandering to these donors should be grounds for removal from office. There should also be a limit and all candidates should get the same amount, one candidate shouldn't be allowed to spend millions over another. Abolish the two-party system. Also, EVERY public office should have term limits.
@LangworthyUS9th3yrs3Y
We need full election reform. I want govt funded elections. The media should be required to do their civic duty and cover the candidates fairly and equally. Let's use high school gyms for debates and town halls. We already pay for the schools let's use them.
This is a breeding ground for corruption. Special interests PACs big donors buy candidates. They have sold their souls before they even take their oath of office.
@8KKC68B3yrs3Y
No, but it should go towards a pot where all candidates receive equal amounts to campaign from.
@8HDMV9J4yrs4Y
No, as long as no contingencies, strings, or obligations are attached to donations
@8GSYNK94yrs4Y
No, a donor should be able to donate however much they think is reasonable.
@8GMPK8G4yrs4Y
No, if people want to donate they should be able to no questions asked.
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, but make PACs and parties unable to financially contribute to a candidate's campaign and substantially increase the amount a citizen may currently give.
@8DP4ST34yrs4Y
There should be a limit and the donations should be public knowledge.
@8DP4ST34yrs4Y
yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors and all donations are public knowledge.
