I don't understand your problem with advertisements.
I have a problem with donors dumping money into people's pockets, but I don't see any justification for restricting donors rights to political speech. If a bunch of people, or one wealthy person, wants to spend millions on supporting a measure or a person, go for it.
The only restructing I support is making sure that money doesn't go into candidates' pockets and opening a minimum airspace for people to use who don't have the millions to pay for it.
