8. Agreed with two adjustments
I certainly agree with the general objective but campaign finance reform won't be enough we need complete election reform that enables the public to control the system.

And this election reform should be publicly financed but not controlled by the candidates as most reform seems to imply. Instead we should set up a job application process where the candidates are required to fill out an application controlled with input from the public and attend interviews that are influenced by the public. Candidates who refuse to comply should be disqualified the way a a applicant that refuses to fill out an application or attend an interview are rejected.
