Only those who can vote for a candidate may contribute to their campaign for office.


Not sure what you mean? If you’re saying only American citizens eligible to vote can contribute to a candidate, no PACS, etc - I agree. One problem in doing this would be tracking/auditing contributors against an ‘American citizens eligible’ data base.

In my opinion, another problem we have is super-rich Americans having too much influence over candidates through their immense contributions.

So, what changes to voting and campaign laws would support electing representatives who better represent the interests of the people they represent. God knows, with party politics, mega-donors and globalist control of our institutions - the people are not represented today.

Thoughts?


Simple - only voting residents may contribute to the campaigns of those running for the geographical area they intend to represent. Contributions will be held to a maximum of $10,000 per resident. Strict bookkeeping on contributions. You wanna see some stuck-pig-squealing? Do that.

Also, remove party affiliation labels from all ballots.

Simple ...

I think you nailed it. Solutions can be simple - but simple, common-sense solutions are something politicians don't seem to get.

Maybe it's because most of them are lawyers. /s

“Simple - only voting residents may contribute to the campaigns of those running for the geographical area they intend to represent.”

More clearly stated, thank you.
