In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

No but donations should be placed anonymously and dispersed evenly to avoid the persuasion of votes by politicians
@9S6BTLX9mos9MO
There should be limits to how much a single donor can pay, but the candidate should not be restricted to how much their campaign can receive in total.
@9NVSNMZ 12mos12MO
No, as long as all donations are public knowledge and the donor does not sway the opinion or actions of the candidate.
@9JZ6N38Libertarian1yr1Y
yes there should be a limit and any and all donations need to be traced to the original provider, no more hiding behind a super pac or other loopholes
@8YH7MLK3yrs3Y
Our elections should not be relative to how much money a candidate can raise. Anybody who wants to run for any office should have equal time on public TV radio or other forms of media without any money being involved.
@8YH5W8Y3yrs3Y
Yes. And amount should also apply to corporations as well.
@8SJ6T7C4yrs4Y
Yes, and ban anonymous donations and PACs as well.
Overturn Citizens United and ban, or at least limit, corporate PAC donations.
@8J4CJT25yrs5Y
Yes, too many candidates are bought by big industries.
@8FG37GNLibertarian5yrs5Y
Yes, but only donations from corporations; individual donations should be allowed.
@8P35L6M5yrs5Y
No, as long as all donations of 3,000 dollars or more are public knowledge.
@8RNVDWX4yrs4Y
No, but there should be a cut off date where they cannot receive anymore funds
