FEC raises contribution limits for 2020
Wealthy donors will be able to give their favored federal candidates up to $5,600 in the run-up to the 2020 elections after the Federal Election Commission announced new higher contribution limits on Thursday.
The FEC said donors would be able to give up to $2,800 per election - including both the primary and the general election contests - in the new cycle, a $100 increase over the 2018 cycle. The commission raises the donor cap every two years under a provision in the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, better known as McCain-Feingold.
Individuals will be allowed to contribute up to $35,500 to party accounts like the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee every year.
Those with the means to do so may give up to $106,500 to party accounts dedicated to throwing the quadrennial national convention, fighting recounts and maintaining party headquarters facilities.
Well I see ‘our’ reps will be allowed to grease the skids to office with more of the 1%’s money. Any hooker standing on the streets openly sell themselves for money. Then they’re gone, someone’s gotten his jollies, someone has earned a few bucks (the HARD way), and then then transaction is.complte. These jackals whore themselves out and then stick around in the halls of DC rigging the system against children, poor, and the aged and lining their own pockets. I have far more respect for the whore who sells him/herself to earn a living than I do the ones who lie to us and make false promises during an election and then turn around and start soliciting from the rich to screw the rest of us.

No Hillary Victory Fund laundering investigation commision?
So I guess there must not be a commission to investigate money laundering by the DNC, state parties, and Hillary Victory Fund? Must not be a commission to raise the minimum wage either? No commission to make sure there is no voter suppression or election fraud? No commission to see why people in NY and CA had party affiliation changed? Just a commission to make sure the rich can donate more to buy their puppets.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

“Just a commission to make sure the rich can donate more...”
Yes. That’s their ONLY priority.
