"banning any ads from companies that have federal contracts"

The right idea would be to eliminate contributions ABOVE THE $2500 that INDIVIDUALS are allowed, and apply it to Unions, Corporations, 501's, etc.

LET everyone who wants to have "free speech rights" to donate have the same limit on their donation total...whether they are an individual, or a specific group/corporation.

This SURE would upset those who spend millions to get special laws passed to hand them profits or bailout funds....

Yes it would and it's an excellent point. Those special laws cost taxpayers a bunch either directly or indirectly.

Don’t think corporations should have the right to donate. Nor unions or any group.

They don’t vote. The people do.
