We need a $10,000 absolute spending limit for Senate & House races, $100,000 for President, and similar restrictions for all elective offices at the state levels. Each candidate must pay all of his expenses out of his/her own pocket. That is the ONLY way our country can dig itself out of the mountain of festering corruption that suffocates it today.
