To: All People and President Donald Trump
Stop the elite few from creating their illusion of power to own and run our republic.
1) Prohibit the system of private campaign contributions that fund an uninformative or deceptive emotional media contest of personalities and narrow the choices extended to the public to a cast chosen and manipulated by the elite few.
2) Prohibit the financial lobby of congress, from the most blatant to the most subtle political tricks.
3) Prohibit other conflict of interest such as filling administrative offices with executives or investors from the same industry the office is designed to control, as well as the conflict of interest involved in adding piggyback riders to unrelated bills.
4) Reform the abuse of our main stream media public information systems by prosecuting lies whether blatant, by implication, or by omission, according to the seriousness of the potential consequences of those lies.

Why is this important?
1) Replace the campaign process with an objective public information education system, focused on issues rather than personalities, with automatic fact checking and counterpoint presentation. Give equal access to any party that can, by consensus, form a reasonable, and cohesive platform. Then let that party select representatives and administration in proportion to the total votes they receive.
2) With congress aware that they work for the people, let the process become one of research and education, with the conscience they naturally share with their constituent humanity. They understand their dependence on the vote.
These are relatively simple and few provisions that will accomplish what the majority already knows we need, if we raise our voice. Critical thinking and truth are not so expensive that dangerous propaganda cannot be confronted directly no matter how rich it's proponents are.
