Corporations out of our Government elections. The Constitutions gives Congress the right to limit The SCOTUS. Congress can pass a law stating that Corporations can not be involved in any financing or counting of elections and the SUPREME COURT can not review the law.

1. Maybe the Democrats can learn something from the Tea Party
Is the answer that we need a few pledges of our own?

3. Getting Corporations out of it...
...is probably the most important issue at the moment. Cut them out, and everything else becomes infinitely more manageable to address. While we're at it, cap total donations TO any candidate AND total campaign expenditures BY any candidate running for any Federal office to $5 million including travel, staff, etc... Period. No twists, no "donated air time" or "donated page space".
