I'm probably more pro-Union (or at least some sort of worker organization) than most, but even I understand the danger of organizations making political donations. I don't want corporations or unions funding elections, directly or indirectly.
I like the way Baraka presented Canadian rules:

It would seem our friendly neighbors to the north have the right idea.
Switching gears for a moment:
I'm curious who else here has heard about a recent push for a new Constitutional amendment stating clearly that money is not speech and corporate entities are not individuals. I would certainly support such an amendment and it could be something even the most partisan members of the left and right could get together on. Other than corporate shills, of course.
