Candidates for Congress could voluntarily agree to limit contributions to $100 per citizen (no PAC contributions). In exchange, they could accept "democracy voucher" contributions up to $50 per citizen. Every voter would get a $50 democracy voucher. If the voter doesn't allocate his or her voucher, it reverts to his or her party.

    		 Problem Congress is corrupted by a system of privately funded elections.
    Congress follows the will of the Funders. The Funders are not the People.
