[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What we really need is to get the money out of politics.  Then a lot of this other bullshit will start to sort itself out.[/quote]

+ one million.  It is the actual problem.  One barrier is the name "campaign finance reform".  That causes the average citizen to zone out with boredom, disinterest and misinformation.  Need a better name, like "take back our representation", or "get the money out of politics", or "reps need to rep the American people, not corporations".

Getting the money out of politics would make our elections issues based, and would address issues as disparate as: 
-health care (profiting off sick people and protecting the mechanism to do so)
-environment (not paying the hidden costs of pollution, not proving chemicals are safe before they enter the food and drug supply)
-war (uh, maybe not enter into random wars that kill and maim thousands of military and civilians and destroy and stress out military families and DIRECTLY cause the childhood trauma and stress that produce poor health and mental health outcomes, including aggression and crime - just to make money
-cable and cell phones - total monopoly, collusion and scam but protected bc of paid off politicians
-education (pay for it maybe? to ensure an educated and healthier population)[/quote]
