In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

Yes, but the current limits are far too low and are not a good balance between having elections that are not bought and free speech.
No. But the identity and amount should be public record.

We need full election reform. I want govt funded elections. The media should be required to do their civic duty and cover the candidates fairly and equally. Let's use high school gyms for debates and town halls. We already pay for the schools let's use them.
This is a breeding ground for corruption. Special interests PACs big donors buy candidates. They have sold their souls before they even take their oath of office.

No, if an organization is given a lot of money for political opinions, it is like a vote and should be allowed to be used it to fund political change.
