In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

There should be no limits on individual donations not made through a PAC or public funds, but there should be a limit on PAC/corporate donations
@5DVLBZW4yrs4Y
All current regulations hurt all alternatives to the Democratic and Republican Party candidates. The limits the D/R politicians impose on themselves are routinely violated by them, in fact; but are vigorously enforced against people like me. You really should look into this yourself.
@8XLR4JX 1yr1Y
Yes, and any pay-to-play candidates should be disqualified and any pay-to-play donors fined or jailed.
@9K5MYMG10mos10MO
Yes, but make it so all donations are completely anonymous to everyone even the person receiving the donation so the money cannot influence someone in the government's decision making.
@9L3PV699mos9MO
people should not be limited. corporations should. people are citizens with constitutional (first amendment) rights. corporations are not.
@9D3RPBQ1yr1Y
Donors should be only perceived by grassroots sources and sources that are entirely democratic and people oriented
@8PP96SH4yrs4Y

Elimination of corporate donations and a limitation to how much individuals may donate. Ban PAC'S.
