Why can't the dollars go to feed the hungry, help those less fortunate, elevate educational opportunities in low income communities, create jobs, stimulate our economy and/or fix our crumbling roads and bridges?

Super Pac needs to be abolished.

When you put a limit on political contribution direct to the candidate, but there is no limit when you can "donate" to the super pac.

It is it is illegal to give gift to politician, but perfectly legal to give gift to his/her spouse.

Lindsay Graham, R-SC, said on CNN tonight he thinks there needs to be major reform, restriction of the super PACs. A Moderate-Conservative U.S. Senator suggesting more government control. Interesting.
