Getting the money out of politics is going to be the hardest thing the citizens of the U.S. could ever do. Universal healthcare? That would be a walk in the park compared to stopping the money conveyor belt.

But yes, there has to be a first step, and showing the American people where republican's allegiance lies is a good first step. Thanks for thinking about this.
