Repeal or BLOCK the portion of the "Congressional spending bill" that increases the limit on individual contributions

Created by I.W. on December 12, 2014

"With a last-minute provision tacked onto page 1,599 of the 1,603-page, $1.013 trillion spending bill, Congress is moving to fill the void left by the stripping of public funds for the party conventions by dramatically increasing the amount that individual donors can contribute to the various Republican and Democratic committees." Via The Atlantic.
A congressional spending bill currently being pushed through has a provision which allows an eight fold increase to the amount of money a wealthy donor can contribute to a political party. Clearly this provision favors the rich. In America, where the gap between rich and poor is widening, and middle class families clearly are struggling to survive, this provision will lead to average Americans being disenfranchised further.
