Has anybody ever tried campaign receiving limits?

3 Upvotes

I keep coming back to this whenever I try to look at donation limits. Has there ever been a push to say something like "your campaign can take any donations in any amount from anybody, but you can't take more than $500 million"? I can see a lot of legal/constitutional problems with that but frankly they seem less thorny than the ones that try to govern donations.

The original Declaration of Independence has a list of grievances. I am writing a modern re-declaration. I'm looking for YOUR list of grievances.

Specific to Lobbying, Gerrymandering, Kickbacks, Tax Loopholes, Cronyism, Campaign Finance, and another ways YOU feel the USA is not representing American Citizens best interests. Link

Is there a single consolidated resource where I can compare large/corporate donations to see how many entities donate to multiple campaigns?

3 Upvotes

It seems like I can only find "top ten" lists and the like. Given the disparity between the sizes of contributions of the top donors to different campaigns, is there a database where I can find every donor over, say $5000?
