There is only one answer to this incredible waste of taxpayer dollars: Eliminate ALL "campaign finance" laws NOW.

There should only be one law: Anyone can donate any amount of money to any candidate at any time. Every candidate, on pain of 10 years in prison AND 10x restitution of ALL money donated to that campaign for that candidate, must fully disclose the source of EVERY penny received.

All these bogus campaign finance laws do is waste our time and give rise to BS fraud charges like the one leveled against DeLay.

Right! And everything else you proposed as well, including that the fine and sentence be mandatory.

We need some simple campaign finance laws:

Corporations should only make contributions with shareholder approval, and donations should be fully disclosed.

Similar rules should be enacted for unions.

No, you have to leave the laws prohibiting foreign campaign contributions.
