No what we should do is let every citizen send as much money as they want to who they want and if they are running for office, then they should post that donation on there website by sundown.

Citizens who can vote.

Kids sending money were really parents sending money in their kids' names.

Look, I'm for anybody being able to donate as much as they want. But, as long as we're limiting, let's keep non-residents from sending money to campaigns for Senate and the House. That would keep the Hollywood money in California.

The first amendment doesn't apply to only citizens who can vote. At least, it didn't used to. Now it means all sorts of different things. Indians and the media have more rights than the proletariat in this bill.

Only in convoluted bs campaign finance laws. If citizens could donate what they want, when they want, to whom they want, all of that bs goes away.

No. Just more abridging of the first amendment.
