No they shouldn't. In a free market, anyone should be allowed to give any amount of $$ to any candidate without having to disclose it.
I'm not sure why you'd support that. I especially don't see the libertarian principle at work for guaranteed anonymous "speech."
As to the 1st Amendment, it's never been an absolute right. The question is whether limits on buying politicians serve a "compelling" national interest. The question answers itself in my view - of course there should be limits on the ability of money to corrupt the political process.
