It requires a constitutional amendment, of course. Why are you waiting for Nancy to do it? You could start in your own state, or start an online campaign to organize people around the issue.

Meanwhile, some who once advocated changing campaign finance law have abandoned it under the pretense that any candidate can raise limitless funds through small donors.

As a general matter, treating politics as a concierge service isn't consistent with self-government; nor is it effective. You could do what Americans have traditionally done when they wanted a change in law: work on the issue themselves, build support and then ask to meet with your congressperson. Sitting back and bring angry because no one had done it for you is guaranteed to fail.

You could raise the issue at a local Democratic meeting or with a local indivisible group. I'd support it.
