return power to the people, limit demands: out law special interest lobbies, and require all elected offices be public financed.
How about term limits not to exceed 12 years (that 2 terms for senators and 6 for congresspeople)....and not private funding for campaigns. Everyone one gets a fixed amount based on the number of registered voters in their districts.......and they can't go to work for a lobbyist for 5 yrs after their last term expires. We need to vote OUT all incumbents in this coming election regardless of party!!!
the only way to return power to the people, is to make people aware (like is being done now), and return power (economic, political) to the local level, a level at which individual people can actually dream of having a personal influence in public affairs, the basic unit of economic and politics is STILL the human being, not the corporation. globalization and free trade are euphemisms for letting corporations use the world and its people like chess pieces on their chessboard of dollar signs, death and destruction. globalization and free trade are euphemisms for letting corporations ruin the world for fake money, fake wealth, while destroying the worlds real wealth (its people and nature)... you cannot eat money, food comes from nature, and money cannot love you, that comes from people wake up people!
