1. Term limits in congress. Until we find some way to keep politicians from making decisions not for the benefit of the American people - but to fill their war chest for the next election - they are never going to change. The only way to do this is term limits.

2. No more lobbiests. They have a place and term limits would help fix this problem a little bit, but they are still destructive. The problem with lobbiests is that only the rich and powerful can afford them leaving the American public without a lobbiest (voice)

3. Remove corporate person-hood. Do not let corporations contribute to campaigns. Corporations are not people. If a law is good or bad for an industry and folk in that industry want to try to influence things, they can do so as employees of or investors in that company and do so with 100% transparency.

4. Revert to the fairness doctrine of 1987 which assured that people would get both sides of a story and give them something to think about. Without the fairness doctrine - media outlets simply become the extension of one political part or another.

5. Hold news organizations accountable for telling the truth. As things stand - due to Corporate Personhood - there is no obligation whatsoever for corporate owned news entities to tell anything like the truth. They do not have to admit to lies and cannot be help liable if their willingness to lie to prop a lie or quash the truth results in bad things.
