Third party campaigning is BS. All campaigning should be done by the candidate and all donations should go through their campaign. All donors should be public or the list should be available to the government for auditing. Companies aren't people, they don't have rights from the Constitution, they shouldn't be allowed to campaign or contribute.
As far as I’m aware, all donors are public, and have been for quite some time. Anyone can get exact numbers down to the dollar of each contributor a major politician took money from.
This is incorrect. Look into how SuperPACs get around the normal laws for donator transparency.
You, my friend, have to read up on super PACs
