Why do some people here want a plutocracy? You childish hacks, this is not a partisan issue, but rather something that could fundamentally change how the country operates. Do all you Republicans really support wealthy people and corporations controlling political campaigns? And please don't respond with some silly "omgz obama did it too omgz", but rather how you truly feel campaigns should be run. And while money isn't always that important in races like for President or Governor (especially when the candidate being bombarded is well known like Jerry Brown), they do matter for lower level races.
Anyways, what we need is transparency. If you donate money to a campaign, everyone should be able to know immediately who you donated to and how much. Not months after the fact when the campaign might be over. And even that isn't enough. Citizens v United will ruin this country, and it's sickening to see some celebrating it. This is not a partisan issue, and I hope you Republicans who are being benefited now will recognize that.
