Why should non-voters control our government and its lawmaking?
It should be illegal for any candidate to receive a contribution from anyone other than a lawfully registered voter. Corporations not only cannot vote, they cannot have a conscience. By intentional design they are only interested in profit and self-perpetuation. Those are their purposes, and the public good is not included. Get corporations and any other 'legal entities' out of our lawmaking process!
The public owns the airwaves. Broadcast stations license the use of the airwaves from the public's representative, our government. Campaign air-time should be limited and provided cost-free to candidates. That would reduce campaign finance requirements considerably. They'd still have to raise money for chartering airplanes, limos, and paying office rent.
