The only reform needed is that only eligible voters can contribute, whatever amount. No unions, corporations, PACs, foreign countries or out of State (district). Voters only with complete immediate accounting of when and how much received and spent by every candidate.

Unfortunately, that "reform" is also illegal/unConstitutional. There should be NO restrictions of ANY sort on ANY political campaign contributions. The single allowable proviso should be that any and ALL such contributions MUST BE MADE PUBLIC, giving the name and contact information of the donor(s). If the donation is by an organization, then the membership must also be published.

Hey ... that sounds like a good plan. Can't participate in elections if you're not registered to vote!

And ... to make all contributions public - who and the amount.

If those restrictions were imposed ONLY - then I'm not sure a limit on individual spending would be necessary ... but I'm not sure if that would be good or bad.

Two ideas: Term Limits and an end to party politics.
