What I expect in return is a job well done in office on the issues I care about and of which the candidate has policies I approve of.

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.

No, I wouldn't be able to do whatever I want. Because I want to donate money. I want to be able to say, here take this $X, and tell others the positions you hold that I approve of so they can become policy.
If you prefer money to be taken out of the equation, how do you expect candidates to travel between the states? Afford lodging in each state? Host rallies to get their message out?
