In SUA, un cetățean poate da $ 2.700 per alegere pentru un candidat federal, 5.000 $ pe an la un PAC, $ 10.000 pe an la un comitet de partid de stat sau local și 33400 $ pe an la un partid național. Cetățenii și societățile pot oferi sume nelimitate la un Super PAC. Un Super PAC este eliberat de legile tradiționale de finanțare de campanie, atâta timp cât nu finanțează un candidat sau o campanie sau de a coordona în mod direct, cu o campanie cum să-și petreacă donații.

Cum te simți în legătură cu ideea că unele persoane sau grupuri pot dona sume mult mai mari pentru a influența alegerile decât altele?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you think money plays too large a role in deciding which political candidates get the most attention?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Should there be limits on how much any person or corporation can spend on influencing society through elections?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might campaign spending affect the trust people have in the political system?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you feel like political donations reflect democratic values, or do they give some people more influence than others?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
To what extent do you think money can change the outcome of an election in ways that votes alone wouldn’t?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might campaign finance laws impact whether everyday people feel their voices are being heard in politics?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Should there be stricter rules on who can donate to political campaigns, or should contributions be seen as free speech?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How important do you think transparency is in campaign donations—should the public know who is giving money to support or oppose a candidate?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What impact do you think unlimited donations to political groups (Super PACs) have on debates about important societal issues?
