"The Shays-Meehan bill includes provisions to:
Ban national political parties from raising or spending so-called "soft money." This type of funding is largely unregulated and comes from unlimited contributions from corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals.
Prohibit unions and corporations from using soft money to fund advertising that mentions a federal candidate within 60 days of a general election and 30 days of a primary.
Raise the limit on individual contributions to federal candidates, or so-called "hard money," from $1,000 to $2,000.
Triple the amount of "hard money" that can be received by candidates running against a wealthy, self-financed opponent.
Allow state and local parties to raise and spend up to $10,000 in soft money from each donor for get-out-the-vote efforts and a few other party activities."
