1. "Fighting Back"

Yes unhappycamper, I read it, saved it to reread later and really liked it! I've long thought that we would never rescue the voting process until we got better at stealing votes than these thugs are. And I think we have operatives who are just as capable of it, but it's just a question of when!

2. I don't think we need to learn how to steal votes,

we just need to learn how to count and report them correctly.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

3. If we allowed absolutely no campaign donations, none zero zilch nada

All Public Financing for Campaigns. A certain amount of Public airwaves to be dedicated to political advertising. Once we get Representatives away from the corruption of Corporate Donations they will be much less likely to do their bidding and more of the people's bidding. It is the only way America can be saved as a government of the people by the people and for the people.

4. Yes but. . . .

how do we set up a fair and regulated system when we have to get control first by winning the elections that their cronies are counting now?! Right now we can't even get a room to hold hearings in--never mind getting any bills to the floor!

5. Think paper. Think verifiable. Think transparent.
