We need a simple federal campaign finance law:

Only individuals that are legally registered to vote for a candidate in a federal election may donate money or anything else of value to the candidate running for federal office.

This is a great idea...I'm guessing it would never fly...

or, how about this? All money and it's source, whether given direct to candidate, any PAC, the Party, etc., MUST be posted on a known web site within 48 hours of date the paying bank has cleared the check. Cash treated to timed disclosure also. The banking system is the answer to cleaning up dirty campaign money. But perhaps, financial lobbies being the biggest givers, then getting the best use of the float - just couldn't abide such over-sight. Nah. Poor babies.

Banks and the US Post Office should also account for and
report dollars being sent out of the USA by WetBacks, collecting a sender's fee that would reimburse ER's, ESL classes, etc.
