There's no way in hell that they're going to get 67 votes in the Senate or 290 in the House, but count me as a fervent supporter of Chuck Schumer and Arlen Specter's constitutional amendment to overturn Buckley vs. Valeo. Via Adam B in Kosland, the amendment would look something like this:

SECTION 1. Congress shall have power to set reasonable limits on the amount of contributions that may be accepted by, and the amount of expenditures that may be made by, in support of, or in opposition to, a candidate for nomination for election to, or for election to, Federal office.

SECTION 2. A State shall have power to set reasonable limits on the amount of contributions that may be accepted by, and the amount of expenditures that may be made by, in support of, or in opposition to, a candidate for nomination for election to, or for election to, State or local office.

SECTION 3. Congress shall have power to implement and enforce this article by appropriate legislation.'.

Sweet. I can dream, can't I?
