Regarding campaign financing another option would be to only allow donations by corporations, companies, businesses, organizations (profit or non profit) or individuals that are residents or in the case of corporations, companies, businesses, organizations (profit or non profit) have their national HQ in that state(in the case of Senators or district (in the case of Congressmen) The idea being to keep all funding for campaigns local to the state and individual districts. So if Koch brothers or George Soros for that matter are not residents in my Congressional district they can't donate to my Congressman's campaign fund likewise they can't donate to my Senator's campaign fund. Likewise this would keep any national organizations (Super PACs) from being able to donate to a campaign unless they're actual nationally headquartered in that district and state. Donations should be capped as far as a dollar value is concerned. We can argue about the dollar amount, but personally I'd make it fairly small. 1k max for individuals 3K max for the corporations, companies, businesses, organizations (profit or non profit) All transactions should be able to be reviewed publicly and a full financial disclosure by the corporations, companies, businesses, organizations (profit or non profit) or individuals should be made available so the public knows where the money is coming from. In other words if someone sets up a national HQ for a organzations in my district and starts funneling money through it to a candidate. I have a right to know where and from whom they're getting the money and where those corporations, companies, businesses, organizations (profit or non profit) or individuals are getting there's To put it mildly I have the right to crawl up there ass with a microscope to find out where the money is coming from. Our Senators, Congressmen, State and local representatives even our President are PUBLIC SERVANTS no more no less. Its about damn time they learned that and we started treating them as such.
