7. I'm glad she has said she would support Campaign Financed Reform. So here's how they can begin.

Make Big Money a huge campaign issue. It is probably one of the first things that must be done before we can restore several things, the Rule of Law, ie, Corporate Crooks, no matter how Rich and Powerful, Jaimie Diamon eg, WILL be charged the same as any small time crook.

So, considering almost everyone probably agrees how important an issue it is, my suggestion is that all Democratic Candidates refuse to take this tainted money, and do it publicly.

Then challenge the Republicans, at every debate, to refuse the bribes they are taking from Corporations and Special Interest groups.

Candidates should go to the debates with a list of their opponents donors, then ask them 'Who are you going to be working for if you get elected, the 1% (thanks OWS who gave us the lingo everyone now understands) or the American people?

But ALL Dems would have to do it to make it effective.

Make this obscene money POISON for anyone trying to get elected. '

At least one Democrat has done this already.
