29. I agree... was my thought many many years ago
Something along the line of $3 to $5 dollars per voter based on the last election. That way each candidate would be competing equally. Independent groups working on behalf directly or indirectly would be counted against that campaign's limit. It would be the responsibility of the campaign to tell the independent groups to stay out of it if they want to find themselves short of needed cash.

Each congressional and senate campaign would have different caps based on their district or state. The dollar amount would have to be determined on some forumla based on cost of mailings, tv/radio spots and phone bank calling.

Voter registration should be unlimited as long as it is not used for politicizing.

Organizations can do unlimited election campaigning as long as it is only to their members and their families in the same household.
