This was tossed out by a Moderate Republican (Tom Campbell) from Palo Alto, CA about 20 years ago.
Basically...
"If you can't cast a ballot for me, you can't give me any money".
Short, simple and sweet...
No corporations, no PACs, no lobbyists not living in your district, no unions, no entity that can't vote in the district can give a candidate any money.
Want to put an end to the corruption? Wanna put the old "Tom DeLay/Steny Hoyer K Street Stripmine" out of commission permanently?
This is how to do it. "Representatives" and "Senators" have to get all their money from the voters in their district... period.
