Campaign contribution limit
In view of the Citizens United decision that has resulted in the flood of super-pac money from anonymous sources, the quickest solution to this problem is to acknowledge corporate personhood but limit the contribution of any person to $100. This would apply to individuals contributing directly to a candidate or cause as well as contributions to pacs and super-pacs.
Why is this important?
Corporate and super-pac campaign contributions are perverting what's left of our democracy. The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court makes corporations equivalent to persons. If that is the case, can't we legally restrict each "citizen" to one vote? Let's limit all citizens to contributions of no more than $100 for any campaign. I can afford to put my $100 up against David Koch's $100 any day. This will level the playing field and will end the practice of the rich being more "people" than the rest of us.
