I hear a lot of us saying to be effective we need one single demand that will change the political landscape. As I see it that demand is pretty obvious. Get money out of our politics.
That sounds like a good plan, how are you going to do it
yes
Agreed, our current republic form of government has already proven itself to be a manipulative failure in the pocket of the 1%. Consequently, perhaps you would consider our group's alternative online direct democracy of government & business at http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategically_weighted_policies_organizational_operating_structures_tactical_investment_procedures-448eo and then direct questions or comments to our group's 19 members committed to that plan at: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
Are you referring to the candidates accepting PAC? What about the special interest lobbyists? To get the money out of politics would require reforms in many areas. The Corporatocracy will keep funding the lobbyists, so they will have to be impacted. The Military Industrial Complex (of which the Corporate world) is part of will not go along willingly.
If our politicians do not have to bag for money the lobbyists become much less important.
