Campaign finance reforms

A. Raising limits on individual contributions
- In favor: Raised limitations on individual contributions will even the playing field for all so that no candidate receives a lot more money than another.
- Against: Some people believe limitations on individual contributions are a violation of freedom of speech.

B. Eliminating Soft Money
- In favor: Citizens believe that all contributors should be held to the same standard and no one contributor should be allowed to slip money to a candidate through an organization.
- Against: Citizens believe that money limitations are unlawful and in order to support their chosen candidate, they've found a loophole

C. Citizens United is a conservative organization that believes money is the equivalent to speech. They affect the proposals because they strongly oppose limitations and have the power to do so. Their arguments are legitament.
