Support clean elections.
Easy form to ask Congress for a system of public financing of campaigns:

1. I hope with Democrats in control, we can make some major changes!
In the meantime, kudos to John Tierney (D-MA) and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) at that website you posted! ~~

2. We have a better chance now, but....
...persuading incumbents to give public money to challengers won't be easy.

3. I used to be against term limits because I figured voting WAS a
term limit, but people simply won't vote out their rascal until the ship's already nearly sunk (2006). How can we stop this from happening again. How can we make people more aware since we have the National Enquirer as media consultants now?

4. I believe in supporting alternative media, like...
..."Air America Radio" and the still-in-planning "Independent World Television" which is supposed to start in September:

5. So, term limits are needed because voters do not make the correct choices?
Perhaps we should just get rid of elections altogether?
