That sounds lovely in theory, in practice not so much. There are a million ways for those disclosure requirements to be completely avoided. Create a shell company to funnel the money to before directly using it to influence an election. Donate the money to the Chamber of Commerce, who then spends the money to influence politics without being force to disclose who the original donor was. And the list goes on and on and on.

fine. i respect your right to fear this more than I do. surely there are solutions that don’t involve screwing with the first amendment…
