Forum Post: This should be our 1 demand, and here is how we make it happen.

According to this CNN poll the number one concern of Occupy Protesters is government corruption, and for good reason. Government is supposed to be the means by which we keep a fair and just society. Many of the demands I've seen bandage the wound but do not fix the actual problem. Any legislation brought to address our concerns would either never make it into law or be torn apart by lobbyists. We have to go over Washington's head on this one. We need to pressure the states into having a Constitutional Convention, like we used to repeal prohibition, to amend the constitution to take the money out of Washington. How exactly to do that can be decided at the conventions and we can keep protesting until we are happy with the outcome. We can focus our protests and occupations on state capital buildings. Right now our media coverage is eventually going to wane, but combining different cities protests at the state capitals would be a natural progression to keep making headlines. This is an issue that everyone can get behind, and more importantly it has a means to actually make it happen. It would give people a glimmer of hope that we can actually accomplish something and inspire those who think they can do nothing. Only 34 states need to sign on for a Constitutional convention. Recently 30 states signed on to add a balanced budget amendment. That's only 4 states short on a much more divisive issue and without a global protest to support it! This is a bold and historic protest. We need a bold and historic solution.
