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, the way the current system is set up heavily restricts 3rd party candidates from being able to receive equivalent funding as the establishment parties. I'm not against limits, but limits need to be reformed so all candidates are on equal footing.
@9NN3W9Z11mos11MO
Yes, and ensure that candidates have a balance of representation so that donors have the right to choose their candidates.
@9BN2G7PLibertarian2yrs2Y
yes, and political commercials should be banned, and medias should give access to all candidates proportionally, and the 2 paryu system should be abolish
@94339W23yrs3Y
yes, and publicly fund elections
Yes, and ban campaigning. People would then vote for the best candidate, not the best campaigner.
@8Y39BLC3yrs3Y
Yes, and ban all political campaigning and donations
Yes, and ban all political campaigning
@8XZHVCF3yrs3Y
Yes, and ban political donations and political campaigning
@8XYGP5K3yrs3Y
Citizens should be allowed to, but the SCOTUS needs to overturn Citizens United v. FEC. These would all be publicly disclosed.
@8XWJ28L3yrs3Y
Yes, and ban campaigning
Yes, and take money out of politics.
@8XT9DFG3yrs3Y
Yes, and ban all campaigning.
Yes, and ban campaigning so people vote for the best candidate not best campaigner.
Yes, and ban campaigning.
@8XNFNZN3yrs3Y

@8XL5KY63yrs3Y
Yes, and ban political donations and campaigning so people vote for the best candidate, not the best campaigner.
@8XJWMPM3yrs3Y
Yes, and ban campaigning, since it just leads to voters voting for the best campaigner not the best candidate.
@8Q7Y4RG4yrs4Y
Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors, corporations, or foreign nationals (either by person or by country)
@8PN9CBMRepublican4yrs4Y
No, but donors should not be allowed to donate to candidates that would not directly represent them
@8P9HS474yrs4Y
Yes; cap all political donations at $100 per candidate.
@8P9HGKD4yrs4Y
No, make it so politicians can't pocket money and can only receive money if it is for a political campaign/political resource. However, all donations should be public knowledge.
@8P5T33F5yrs5Y
Candidates should only allocated a specific amount they can use in campaigns to allow less financially endowed candidates to have a better chance.
@8M49RB55yrs5Y
Yes, but only large corporations. Unions, and non-profit organizations should be able to fund a candidate who matches their mission.
@8LMXV4D5yrs5Y
No, but if they are receiving too much money they should retire it to the people or give it to people in need.
@8J5LX3K5yrs5Y
Not from an individual. Entities should not be permitted to donate to any campaign.
@8H4J46H5yrs5Y
Democracy should be reformed.
Yes. I think it would make the process more fair.
@8CG26MQ5yrs5Y
Limit the total amount of money received. With enough money, you can get your propaganda everywhere and skew votes immensely without ever sharing your views. Especially to uneducated voters (voters who don't have time to learn about the candidates.Not implying stupidity but lack of current knowledge).
