I truly believe that the most important political change that we need to make is to remove the influence of money from politics. It is getting worse and worse, and the American people are getting disenfranchised more and more.
We need to get rid of the lobby institution. Super PACs, all of it, gone.
Its harder now for independent to run because all the government regulations require you to either become a defacto election law lawyer or hire an expensive lawyer...or team of lawyers depending the position you are running for. It shouldn't be that way. You should be able to run for any office without fear of running afoul some election or campaign finance law.
The more you regulate it...the worse it gets. The bigger and more powerful government gets...the worse it gets.
