10. Gotta do it from the ground up. Start with the towns as that will get
clean election people into the state legislatures. Then enact it at a state level and try to get clean election people to the federal congress.

We're trying here in Maine but because it's a voluntary thing the people running for higher offices still opt to pour tons of money into their campaigns.

We have to break the "money = free speech" ruling in order to make it mandatory. Only then will we start to see some effect.

See my election page for more ideas about cleaning things up.
