And, that maximum limit should be set quite low. That way, the process is more open to the segment of the population not blessed with large amounts of disposable wealth. Set a carefully-monitored oversight committee to keep close tabs on all expenses, and allow for few, if any, exemptions.
I am also in favor of strict congressional term limits, and controls on how much politicians can spend on their office. The idea of career politicians should be alien to a modern democracy. It's not fucking about you. It's about us.
Also you need to make it easier for 3rd parties & independents to have a chance at actually getting heard, their marginalized and they never get opportunity to be at at-least one live debate alongside the Dems & Reps.
