(on Influence of BigMoney in Politics) I Say...

To be a candidate for office, you must have a web page -and- contributions must be posted on that site within 72 hours of receipt. Any failure to report a contribution results in an immediate requirement to return the money (even if the reporting irregularity comes to light long after and regardless of the outcome of the election)

Also, lift all campaign limits. In a world of full and immediate disclosure, I would bet candidates don't want the publicity associated with the types of Special Interests and Mr. Moneybags making the largest
contributions.
