Quote: Give each party a specific amount, and that's it. No outside donations. Keep corporate money out of politics.

The whole point of the Citizen's United ruling is:

Quote:The Supreme Court held in Citizens United that it was unconstitutional to ban free speech through the limitation of independent communications by corporations, associations, and unions,[21] i.e. that corporations and labor unions may spend their own money to support or oppose political candidates through independent communications like television advertisements.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Un...Commission


By citing any restrictions on free speech as unconstitutional the court has left us in the position of any law which would rein in these corporate criminals would also be unconstitutional.

Your odds of amending the First Amendment to permit such regulation are precisely zero.
