Public campaign financing
Take all the money out of politics. Not only should we overturn Citizens United, but we also demand using only public money from our taxes to fund short, substantive campaigns. We demand free TV time for policy speeches and debates with the public's questions. There should be no more 30 second sound bites. Politicians would need to talk policy in the (let's say) six weeks of a campaign cycle.
