We must reform our campaign contributions laws

[vlyons]

Canada doesn't allow corporations to make campaign contributions. Neither should we. Or at least limit the amount of dark money that gets contributed.

1. No kidding.

Almost all of the nasty ads against Kendra Horn here in Oklahoma are from super pacs. If you donate to a candidate it should be public knowledge. It is really important to know who is funding these awful ads.

2. Step One: Elect Majorities in both Houses of Congress.

Step Two: See Step One.
Step Three: No Step Three. See Step Two.

3. Publicly funded elections. No legal bribery at all.

End Super PACS, revolving door...

4. COrporations are not people

Corporations don't vote. Corporations don't represent employees, just their shareholders. Corporations should not be allowed to contribute at all.

The revolving door between congress-people and lobbyists needs to end, too.

Individual donations, with a cap.
No campaigning more than six months prior to the election.
No TV or radio ads until three months prior.

Public funds, and individual donations. No fancy bundlers. Perhaps the impact of the Lincoln Project and Rep. Voters against Trump will lead to some reversal of Citizens United, which opened the door to dark, foreign money.
