The way to fix campaign fiance is to be completely transparent...
Any donation for any amount must be reported to the FEC within 24 hours with all the pertinent information except any personal information...
Any campaign that fails to report any transaction is fined 100x the amount....
With that system anybody can see who is giving to whom....
Respectfully disagree. The information you provide the FEC is reported to the IRS. It will then be used to persecute patriots by denying them health care and harassing them using tax law. Further the first amendment doesn’t require it. No reporting is my position. Period. Resist the beast.
It can still be hidden in times of transparency. Take the Obama campaigns.
A billionaire communist sympathizer can purchase $250K in “Visa” gift cards anywhere in the world; all in $25 of funds.
Those cards can then be distributed through an Operations Network to individual American citizens on the street. They are told, “You can spend $10 but $15 must be sent to the Obama Campaign.” At the same time, the Obama Campaign (acting on a suggestion from the Operative Network) makes a policy that doesn’t record personal info for VISA/MC/AmEx card-based donations of $20 or less.
Voila! Soros contributes $150K to Obama.
Yes but the law was never obeyed anyway. If an illegal contribution was made, it was kept during the critical cash flow need and then in an apology returned. There was no penalty for holding the money during the time of critical cash flow need.
The broken law that needs to be remedied with the death penalty for the offenders has to do with using the government as club to render senseless those attempting to follow the law. The offenses are a grave assault on the republic
