Why do I have a maximum donation amount? [View all]

After Citizens United, when one of the results was that corporations could give unlimited amounts of money (do I have that right?)... why is it the case that I am still limited in the amount of money I can give Hillary for this campaign?

Unfortunately, this is a theoretical question, since I'm not in danger of going over my limit.

TIA
