The problem with campaign finance reform laws is that it's essentially asking lawmakers to hamstring the very people who write the campaign finance reform laws from raising money to be elected to become lawmakers.
This doesn't work.
Even better, just punt to the Judicial who then decides that corporate citizens have the exact same free speech rights as voters, and that money counts as free speech. Campaign finance reform is basically dead at this point, and corporations can simply donate millions to whoever they want, directly.
Buy ad space on candidates like NASCAR driver jerseys.
