We already accept that we can vote only where we are registered, so why do we allow campaign contributions from people and entities who can't vote where we are registered?

 The next thing you know the U.S. military won't be yours, either. It'll belong to Mellon heir billionaire Timothy Mellon.

 

... Here's a reform that would change everything: You can only donate to candidates and political organizations in the state where you are registered to vote.

Not where you own property. Not where you have business interests. Not where you "care deeply" about the issues. Where you are registered to vote – the place where you've committed to being a citizen and living with the consequences of governance.

This single rule would fundamentally reshape American politics.

 ... Change the incentives by changing where the money comes from, and you change what kind of people can succeed in politics – and what kind of Congress they create.

It's time to return politics to the people who actually have to live with the results.
