Campaign contributions were unlimited until 2002, opening the door for wealthy donors to "buy" influence in the government. In order to maintain accountability in campaign fund raising, all donations are regulated. Rules don't apply before someone declares their candidacy (therefore contributions are unlimited until they declare their candidacy)
