Answer:
Ban it All, Ban it Now Act - Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 with respect to the ban on the use of soft money by political parties and candidates.

Applies the ban to all activities of a national committee of a political party and its officers and agents, including the construction or purchase of an office building of facility, the influencing of a state's reapportionment decisions, and the financing of litigation relating to such reapportionment decisions.

Reduces from $20,000 to $10,000 the maximum amount of donations by an individual to a tax-exempt organization for voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.

Subjects to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of such Act the use of soft money: (1) by corporations and labor organizations for nonpartisan voter registration and get-out-the vote activities; (2) by certain tax-exempt or 527 political organizations for get-out-the-vote activities; and (3) for any partisan voter registration activities.
