Reinstate the Tillman Act, which prohibited corporate and bank campaign donations, and extend it to all organized groups including superpacs, unions and religious organizations, and foreign groups or individuals. Shorten the campaign period to two months only. Cap individual donations.
Why is this important?
It should be important to all Americans,regardless of political persuasion, that our elected officials in Congress and the White House be free and unencumbered, in order to base decisions on what is best for our country and all of it's people, rather than monied special interests. We simply cannot continue with 2 year long campaigns and a situation where a single individual can contribute tens or hundreds of millions of unaccounted for dollars to a campaign, and expect a true democracy to survive.
