This just shows the stupidity of our "campaign finance" laws.
An individual (not PACs or corporations) should be free to give any amount he wishes to his favorite candidate (with full public disclosure).
It's a free country.
Instead, the law limits how much an individual can give, and PAC and corporate giving proliferates unchecked.

Actually, I believe an individual is free to pay for whatever campaign ads he wants, without any restrictions. But he must act as an individual, not as a committee or an agent for someone else.

I disagree.. this means the people with the money get to make the rules.

This is a democracy in which every person has an equal say and an equal vote. However it's money in this society that gets you in front of voters.

You think money gives you free speech? I say the more money you have the more likely you are to abuse the rest of us.

There is a difference between having capitalism in which CEO's can make as much as they want and having an a society ruled by kings.
