I think it needs a means of attaching consequences to grassroots support for such policies, i.e. defining the policies and soliciting signatures should by organized through a series of Congressional District townhalls. Representative and Senators can blow some things off because they are too abstract. Things going on in their districts, potentially, have more consequences to them.

Imagine, We the People coming together to re-write the American Contract, to demand Real Value (Free Education for all age groups, Health Care, Secure Jobs, Secure Vote, Campaign Finance Reform) for our Real Capital (our bodies, talents, skills, labor), not phony completely arbitrary values like money, which is all the American Contract consists of now.
