Only registered voters in the district should contribute money. That eliminates control by out-of-staters, foreign countries, corporations, labor unions and PACs. Money talks but it's not free speech.

Bingo! I see no reason why all contributions cannot be made by citizens and ONLY citizens. And the money not used in the campaign can be returned to the contributors.

I disagree - I am affected by all the Senators. So, I think it's fine that I can donate to any of Hillary's opponents, or Kerry's and Kennedy's, etc. Don't know if it does any good, but it makes me feel like I tried to stop them.

Repeal of the 17th? amendment that elects senators rather than state legislatures appointing them would go a long way as well.
