The Till Bill

The Till Bill, formally known as the Tillman Act of 1907, is a significant piece of U.S. legislation that aimed to curb corporate influence in politics. It prohibited corporations and national banks from making direct contributions to federal candidates for office. The goal was to reduce corruption and ensure that elections were not unduly influenced by wealthy entities. Over time, the Till Bill has influenced discussions on campaign finance reform and the role of money in politics, laying the groundwork for ongoing debates about the impact of contributions on democracy and election integrity.
