Election Reform

by all means, we should fight, but we must chose our strategy and tactics wisely.

simply opening up the bill of rights for evisceration doesn't sound to me like a sound idea at all.

we'd fare much better with a couple of carefully considered amendments, perhaps starting with publicly financed elections or something else to get the power money out of politics, e.g., or at least restrict contributions to the jurisdiction of the election itself (a rich bastard can only finance the representative for his own district itself, e.g.).

of course the money power would kill this as well in the current environment. we need to seriously change public opinion against the power of concentrated money first.
