Limits corporations to spending no more than $10,000 on initiatives
Provides limited public funds for qualified candidates who agree to take no private money so they can serve their constituents free of obligation to the big donors.
Bans contributions from lobbyists to politicians.
Lawmakers can be removed from office or jailed for violating the policy, up to 5 years in jail and $25,000 fine.

Candidates for state offices could choose to receive public funds to pay for the costs of campaigns if they meet certain requirements.
