Forum Post: Getting money out of politics

This is a good message, and is certainly something that is a problem, but start focusing on the "how" question.

2 ideas here, one more practical, the other more theoretical in the way that we actually structure government itself.

Practical: Overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Even more practical because you would have the widespread support of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents http://tiny.cc/3017m

Theoretical: Especially during the Fourth Century BC, after the restoration of democracy from oligarchical coups, the Athenians used the drawing of lots for selecting government officers in order to counteract what the Athenians acutely saw as a tendency toward oligarchy in government if a professional governing class were allowed to use their skills for their own benefit.[5] They drew lots from large groups of adult volunteers as a selection technique for civil servants performing judicial, executive, and administrative functions (archai, boulē, and hēliastai).[6] They even used lots for very important posts, such as judges and jurors in the political courts (nomothetai), which had the power to overrule the Assembly.[7]
