We need a grassroots drive for an amendment to our Constitution banning all forms of political advertisement or money spent in an attempt to influence elections. We will replace cash-driven politics and 15 minute soundbytes with the government providing time each week for debates on political issues and substantial discussion of our nation's problems. Said debates and discussions shall be held under oath where knowingly lying is punishable with charges of perjury.
Make that one change and we will see a dramatic shift in American democracy away from moneyed interests and toward rational, open discussions.
