We need to rewrite a basic rule in this country...

6. K&R!!!! We need to fight for Complete Campaign Finance Reform and Publicly Funded Elections!

After we have Representatives again, we will have the power to break up the banks and media conglomerates, but not before. We must deal with the Root Cause 1st, which is that the 1% own our politicians and regulatory agencies. Most of our problems stem from this. I mean really, do you think we could pass background checks for assault weapons if 90% of Americans were for it? It didn't happen after Sandy Hook!
By the way, when we break up the media conglomerates, we need to demand reforms for the media that uses our public airwaves under license. They need to keep "news" separate from "entertainment." Fox News won a court case on appeal where they intentionally broadcast false statements about a politician because the all Republican Court of Appeals said Fox News was "Entertainment." The news must be truthful and unbiased. We can still have political discussion shows with opinion, but at least there would not be multiple sets of "facts" from which to postulate.
