    You still need 2/3rds of the state legislatures to vote for it.

    Republicans/Fox “news” viewers are against any kind of campaign finance reform.

    ’Cuz keeping Republicans in power is way more important than democracy.

    Campaign finance reform is an absolute necessity.

    “Crap, Now if I get rich, it will be for no purpose.”.Do you really believe the 1% will allow you to become rich?

    Please read something impartial. Look up the relevant votes taken in congress over the last ten years or so. Democrats vote for increased voting rights, middle class, etc. Quit listening to Fox and do some original research.

    A Campaign for Finance Reform is going to take money especially since there is probably a lot of money against it. You want to make bribery illegal?

    You do not think Conservative non-profit Foundations do not receive foreign donations."On the other hand, the George Bush Foundation raised $361.8 million dollars between 2010-2013 with no attempt at accountability or transparency. While the conservative media obsesses over creating false scandals to smear Hillary with, there is absolutely no discussion about the fact that the Dallas Morning News has investigated the Bush Foundation and found donations not only from politically connected millionaires like Sheldon Adelson but also foreign governments like the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

    Similarly, the George Bush Presidential Library has assets of $47 million and receives $3 million a year from undisclosed donations, functioning as yet another vehicle to funnel campaign and influence money through with no record or transparency, and was accepting donations all throughout George W. Bush’s presidency- another way for the millionaires of America to buy power and favors while trampling over the American democracy.

    It’s worth repeating; the Clinton Foundation publicly releases the names of every donor and the amount of each donation, while the Bush Foundations accepted secret, anonymous donations of undisclosed quantities."You conflating donations to Foundations and donations to Campaigns as the same.
