What distinction are you drawing between my “independent political spending” and Wikipedia’s “independent expenditures for political campaigns”?

Corporations and other associations shouldn’t be allowed to donate any money for political ads or political causes.

Corporations like the Sierra Club? Why not?

Ah my bad. I meant partisan political causes. I don’t know enough about this to give you a distinction. I can point to the policy. I’d like Citizens United overturned.

For partisan causes I don’t think society has space for money to be that powerful. The establishment Dem and Repub parties, politicians, and outside money coming in shouldn’t be able to buy votes and mindshare via ads and marketing that cost tons of money through/with entities.
