Strongly agree

Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

Johnson signed the Federal Election Campaign Act into law in 1971, which limited the amount of money that individuals and groups could contribute to political campaigns. This suggests that he would have been supportive of limiting the amount that corporations, unions, and non-profits could donate to political parties.

Agree

Yes

Lyndon B. Johnson, as a pragmatic politician, likely would have seen the value in allowing corporations, unions, and non-profits to donate to political parties. However, he also was aware of the potential for corruption and the influence of money in politics, so he might not have fully supported this without some form of regulation.
