Essay Number 7 Campaign Finance Reform Proposals

A: Raising Limits on individual contributions: the increase in money that individuals may give to a campaign, parties, or PACs
-Candidates can spend less time fundraising and more time focusing on their campaign
-This allows the rich to have too much power and can influence politics easy with their money

B: Eliminating Soft Money: Not allowing contributions to political parties and/or contributions for party building activities
-It levels the playing field and lets the campaigns be more even between different candidates
-Weakens political parties. With less money, they have little ability to have strong campaigns
