Re: I have stopped donating to political parties.
If people stopped contributing, or at least stopped being brainwashed into contributing, corporations, lobbyists and special interest groups would fill the gap with "not yet illegal" means.
Campaign finance reform should be in the form of "if you can't vote, you can't contribute" and it would have to shoved down the throats of Congress to get it done. |

Re: I have stopped donating to political parties.
because they don't vote. Only US citizens can vote--if you limit the amount of money funding congress, you limit the size of government because less laws influenced by special interests and lobbyists will be passed.
This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure. ---Federalist 58 It says people, not corporations. |
