Paper Summary:

This paper explores the issue of campaign finance reform in the United States. The paper looks at both sides of the issue, the first being the continuing quest for money versus complaints about how money taints the process. The paper looks at all other issues related to this topic including whether money is a corrupting influence, the constitutionality of campaign finance reform. The paper concludes that the issues which divide public and political opinion in the U.S. may not be able to be resolved.

From the Paper:

"It may be impossible to bring the two sides together. The Supreme Court has ruled that donating money to political parties or candidates is a form of free speech, but this does not mean the practice cannot be better controlled--even speech is not completely unfettered from legal restrictions. For that matter, while donations may be free speech, how candidates spend those donations may not be. Public funding of elections, though, would not undercut the need for these vast amounts of money unless restrictions on spending were also imposed."
