Personally, I find the proposed amendmernt too complex for it's purpose. I would substitute the following:

"No person or organization may expend money for the purpose of purchasing video media time to advocate for the candidacy, or nomination for candidacy, of any individual, or group of individuals."

This would eliminate TV ads, which are by far the most ignorant, manipulative, vile propaganda in current use--and of course the object of the vast majority of election spending. Without this tool, the ability of wealth to influence elections, and thus hold influence over lawmakers, would be vastly mitigated.
