Political Contributions Reform
The response of some corporations to the insurrection at the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, to suspend certain or all campaign contributions should lead to the wholesale reform of political campaign funding in the U.S. It is long past the time for us to limit all contenders for public office to equal public funding.
National parties can act as the channels for the allocation of these public funds to individual campaigns; but private corporations and individual donors must be prohibited from supporting specific candidates. Moreover, if either makes donations to a political party, the use of those funds on behalf of specific candidates should be illegal.
