Say Russia gives a billion dollars to the NRA. How is that influening our elections? It's not like the NRA isn't already doing what it can to effect public policy. Giving them more money isn't going to make them all that more effective than they already are - it's not like their issues have to do with funding or the lack thereof.

I disagree with this part.

If you have $1000 to spend on a campaign or $1,000,000 on a campaign you can do a lot more with more money.

Also, and I could be wrong about this, if they get that kind of money from a foreign country there is probably some kind of legal wrangling about reporting it.  So maybe they do that above and beyond the IRS reporting they they don't have to do now?
