If we ask for nothing, that is exactly what we will get. The numbers are there, as is the spotlight...it's time to focus the message into something that will actually bring about change. If we demanded true Campaign Finance Reform it could remove the influence of corporations from politics and remedy much of what's happening today. We need to end the outright bribery of those elected to represent US.
I support Campaign Finance Reform and I support Term Limits. This is truly something that 99% of the population can get behind. Get business out of government!
True, we must focus the message, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, including campaign financing, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

if you want to support a Presidential Candidate Committee at AmericansElect.org in support of the above bank-focused platform.
I think "grab your ankles" sums of the last few decades.
I'd also like to nominate "eliminate corporate bribery" as an alternative 3 word remedy.
Two word secondary remedy:
Term Limits
You get one term per position. 4 years as Representative, 6 years as senator, and 6 years as president (or whatever mix you think is best, I don't care). Get in office, do what's best for the country, then go back to being a normal citizen.
Career politicians are the primary reason for the problems in America today. Get rid of that, and the problems will dramatically decrease.
I agree, but I think there should be a popular vote in the last year of a term to determine whether he/she serves an additional 2 years. 51% of the popular vote means a longer term and the costly re-election machine remains non-existent. It gives politicians incentive to do the work of the people.
