#tellusatoday: Should campaign coffers be limited?
We asked on Twitter whether anything should be done to control the influence of money in politics. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:
Super PACs must go. There is also an urgent need for campaign reform. Get rid of negative ads.

They could use some of that money to help distressed homeowners.

That's like trying to put a salary cap on pro baseball. Not happening.
-- @gregpetrossian
You could abolish free speech like Putin, look at all the money you would save. And then we could censor newspapers next.
-- @daruth1
We need disclosure laws with teeth as long as Citizens United is the law. But Congress benefits too much to enact them.
-- @d2frma2
Remove money and influence! The White House should not be up for sale!
-- @DNYCE305
Pay off the deficit if you want to make a statement. That should earn respect and votes. It's not brain surgery.
-- @lisahambleton
There should definitely be a limit to money spent on campaigns locally and federally. People shouldn't be allowed to buy elections.
