those small, personal donations, i think, are a good thing
massive corporate/lobbyist/special interest kinds of donations are a bad thing.

I wouldn’t necessarily support limits on the amount of money that can be donated to a campaign, but I would support limiting campaign contributions to individual voters who can vote for a candidate. But either way this would have to be done with a constitutional amendment, since any law to limit campaign funding would violate the 1st Amendment.
