Campaign finance laws are and have always been a sham designed to protect incumbents.

The name on the latest one is McCain / Feingold.

Research John McCain. Research Russ Feingold. Research the challenges to the law bearing their names and then get back to us.

Sheesh!

I'm not sure it's to protect incumbents. Isn't there some guy out there threatening to give Newt $100M? I think it's more that the political class wants to pretend that no one is buying them.

Want to stop this BS?

No direct contributions to candidates. All money must go anonymously through a monitored third party which hides the identity of the donor much as a voter's identity is hidden.

I believe that McPain/Findgold has mostly been overturned by one court or another. It has very little influence on campaigns anymore.
