They can't directly, the limit is very low for direct donations. The title is misleading as election rules dictate that you can only donate in certain ways. An individual may give a maximum of: $2,700 per election to a Federal candidate or the candidate's campaign committee.2 Notice that the limit applies separately to each election. Primaries, runoffs and general elections are considered separate elections.
Now they CAN give to that representatives superpac any amount as it's not directly to that candidate. Can someone post the senators and house members that voted in the ACA BEFORE reading the actual bill? I bet it's exactly the opposite. Now Netflix can actually pay for all the pipe they are using under the guise of net neutrality. They literally made a billion dollar business using other's groundwork, wonder what they're thinking now.
