re: #376 harrylook

Well, as I understand the case, it was about these PAC’s - giving money to those groups to run ads. I don’t see a need to restrict that for anyone. Contributions directly to elected officials is a much more complicated issue. Influence is clearly bought every day in DC, despite the current restrictions on direct contributions. My solution for that is term limits and other rules restricting the actions of elected officials. Restricting speech should always be a last resort.

In other words, the more money you have the more free speech is due you.

That is crazy. These superpacs have unlimited donations from dummy corporations. It is a legalized, political, money laundering scheme that has undue influence on policy.
