Be aware that there is a federally-mandated limit to how much one individual can donate to a political candidate, or a political party's national committee, as the Federal Election Commission reminds us:
- The limits on contributions made by persons to candidates (increased to $3,300 per election, per candidate) (52 U.S.C. § 30116(a)(1)(A));
- The limits on contributions made by persons to national party committees (increased to $41,300 per calendar year) (52 U.S.C. § 30116(a)(1)(B));
- The limit on contributions made by certain political party committees to Senate candidates (increased to $57,800 per campaign) (52 U.S.C. § 30116(h)).
By the way...did you know that you can go see what individuals have donated to various candidates for public office or re-election? Yeah, it's a matter of public record. Granted, there's about 23 million entries to wade through right now....
