There is only one issue, you should be concerned about. Publicly financed campaigns.

I don't care what your personal number one issue is. There will be no reform of any meaningful way in society unless campaigns are publicly financed and the status of one vote one person is restored when it comes to elections.

Until you are ready to do that, and even work with a few conservatives who realizes they aren't going to get their way either in the public debate, you are totally fucked.

This is not an endorsement of John McCain, he does not support this, nor do many mainstream political figures on either side of the aisle. Also Ron Paul and his fan club don't like this idea, so the tea bagger slur isn't going to hold water.

As long as it takes a shit load of money to be competitive in an election, business interest will trump the interest of the American people 100% of the time.

We need to go into the Temple and chase the money changers out.

That's all.
