This is a list of amendments I would love to see added to the U.S. Constitution. Any thing marked with a @@ is an opinion worded a lot like a fact, but that is not necessarily based in a lot of research.

=Amendments Already Proposed=

Corporations void to fund elections.
There is a political action committee already in existence to persuade congress into passing this idea as the 28th Amendment. The organization is called Wolf-PAC.

Criticisms
I would only really change the '$100' part to something more timeless, something that is not in U.S. currency as well. This wording will not prohibit the use of bitcoins, which will be an almost unavoidable addition to our current monetary landscape. @@ How this will go about is uncertain, but I'm convinced that with discussion and more people involved with Wolf-PAC we can come up with a better, timeless, wording to make it a great addition to our constitution.

Naturalized Citizens Having the Right to Run for Office
I believe that the U.S. restriction, that the presidency can only be a citizen by birth, is an unfair disadvantage to  Americans by not allowing qualified, motivated citizens who were American by choice rather than birth a chance at an executive office. It has been proposed in the past, but unfortunately it has not been approved by the 3/4 majority it needed by 2010.

Criticisms
Though the wording, in this particular case, was probably necessary to have congress take it somewhat seriously. I would go as far to say fifteen years and/or if they were a citizen before the age of 18.

Eliminating the Electoral College
The electoral college made sense back in the days when we got our information via horseback, but in an ages that we can receive information faster than we can think @@ it is completely pointless, in fact harmful to our democracy. To many un-democratic possibilities can be presented because of this rule.

Every Vote Counts Amendment
=Not proposed=

Proposed Wording
There shall be no law allowing the classification of government documents, or protecting the practice. There shall be no classification of any government documents unless a citizen is named. Redacting names of citizens is allowed.
