What benefit do you get out of giving money to a candidate? I sure as hell do not give money without expecting something in return. I guess I missed the part where the USC stated you had the right to buy a politician or that the office of POTUS could be purchased by the highest bidder.

I view the link between buying a candidate with cash and freedom about the same way as I view the link between the electoral college and fair representation.

You can still donate to your candidate. Go house to house campaigning, volunteer your time, host a web blog ... do what ever you want. I would just prefer that money be taken out of the equation.
