| Summary: | Analyzes S. 2, to limit out-of-State contributions for publicly-funded Senatorial candidates to 25 percent, and to require 75 percent of the contributions to come from within the State. Argues that such a provision is constitutional despite the First Amendment rights of both candidates and out-of-State contributors, since it is linked to a voluntary public financing plan comparable to the Presidential public financing plan, which was found to be constitutional in 1976 Supreme Court decision in Buckley v. Valeo. |
