1. Campaign Finance Reform
A constitutional amendment to overturn the SCOTUS decision.

2. Public financing of federal political campaigns
Put that in place and the corporations instantly lose the political clout to ruin our country.

Everything that needs doing can get done if thats in place.

4. Overturn Citizens United, Publically Financed Campaigns sans donations + ban Lobbyists
That should fix 98% of our issues, IMO.
