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.
Yes, enact small-donor campaign finance
No, an individual citizen should be allowed to donate but Super PACs should be banned.
Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors and all donations are public knowledge, but it would be even better if we publicly fund elections.
Yes, and political campaigns should be significantly limited in several ways, too.
The amount does not matter, as long as it is legal.
Yes, $500 a year and ban all PACs and corporations from donating
I don't have an opinion on this but I am not saying it is not important.
Eliminate donations and put into one pot shared equally between candidates.
There should be an across the board cap on total donations received so all candidates have the same max amount of campaign funds.
No, but give every voter a voucher to support their candidates and outweigh the money of the wealthy.
Direct donations to candidates are already limited. The problem is Citizens United and earlier rulings which allow 'soft money' or 'dark money' to be used by corporate interests to influence elections.
Local and National News programs should be forced to ask the Candidates the same questions. Let them answer and then respond to what their opponent said.
No foreign funds at all! And contributions should be held at $100,000.00 maximum individual or corporation. Pac's and other fund-raising groups should be checked for misconduct.
Yes, cause this can be seen as a form of lobbying.
Should be higher, but yes there should be a cap on funding.
They should receive no money from donors
Yes, in fact ban all donations in politics.
Yes, but only for out-of-state donors.
Yes, but the current limit is too small.
Yes but only for unions and corporations
All current regulations hurt all alternatives to the Democratic and Republican Party candidates. The limits the D/R politicians impose on themselves are routinely violated by them, in fact; but are vigorously enforced against people like me. You really should look into this yourself.
Elimination of corporate donations and a limitation to how much individuals may donate. Ban PAC'S.
Temporarily as long as the most wealthy are mostly evil satanists
No, that should be illegal due to recent shady activity that was involved in the years.
No, but vastly limit the government's power across the board.
Yes, if federal funding is distributed to all voters who then allocate their share to their preferred candidate
Yes, but make unions an exception.
Ban corporate and special interest contributions
Depends on the donor and who they're donating to. Private donors should have no cap.
No, as long as the money is not used to buy influence
No, as long as the candidate does not know where the contribution is coming from
No, but candidates should only be allowed to receive donations from people, companies, and groups that have a physical presence (residence, property, offices, ect.) in the area they would represent.
Yes. All donations should only come from the voter base.
Yes, and all sources who donate more than $5K should be public knowledge.
Candidate should not be allowed to accept private donations above $200 per donation, and election campaigns must be overseen rigorously, with violations resulting in termination of rights to run for election or be appointed to office.
Yes, and super-pacs are unconstitutional corporations are not citizens
Yes, people with less money should have equal ability to support their candate as those with more
No and all donations should NOT be public for the safety of the donators.
yes because there could be bribery.
Yes, and companies/businesses (for example, McDonalds) should be able to donate to politicians.
Yes and specifically on PACs.
No this is free speech but they should make the information public.
yes there should be a limit and get rid of all lobbyist money.
Yes, and I think the person receiving the donation should have to pay taxes on it.
Only candidates should be able to say.
People should donate the amounts they want, not corporations though as there's a lot that'd be mobbing support for the Democratic candidate/s.
Yes, so as to keep the campaign fair. However, politicians can't pocket money. They can only receive money if it is for a political campaign.
Yes, make candidates pay for their own campaigns.
No, and political campaigns should be government funded, equally amongst all parties
Yes to Corporations and No to Voters
