Big money has no "term limits". Lobbyists have no "term limits". The "revolving door" has no term limits. Term limits on Congress fix nothing.

Bring back the earmarks and pork, damn it!

This all started when the R's got Obama to go along with killing earmarks - and ever since then, we have no way to bring a Republican to our side.

Reversing Citizens United?

Making revisions to corporate charters that expand the fiduciary responsibility of CEOs to include the environment, consumers and society as a whole.

Reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine so everyone gets to work from the same set of facts. This includes a reinstatement of net neutrality.

Preventing outgoing members of Congress from becoming lobbyists until ten years after leaving Congress.

Requiring Congress to abide by what they foist off on us; they should have Social Security as their pension and the ACA as their healthcare program. Right now they don't have to worry about anything after serving two terms. Let's change that.

Those are fixes.
