As a continuation of my thoughts on How Conservatives should change the Republican Party
A 6th plank in the new Contract with America
No entity can contribute to a political candidate for a general election which cannot vote for said candidate.
This means that only individual contributors can donate money to political candidate.
No business $, no Lobbyist $, no Union Dues $, No out of district contributions.
For the general election of a president only 20% of contributions may be spent outside of the state in which the contribution was collected on national advertising. 20% of the money collected in NY can be spent on a nationwide commercial purchase, no regional advertising with this 20% of the money.
Political parties are only allowed to spend money in the district the money was collected.
No collecting money in California for a Maine congressional candidate, no collecting money in Texas for a New York candidate.
This would make the congress members more responsible to their constituent since they can’t rely on people other than their voters for campaign contributions and it would make all states important in presidential elections since every state would need to have money collected to advertise in that state.
