OWS: Are they asking for publicly funded elections?

I haven't seen this one even being discussed, and, imho, if OWS wants corp money out of elections, and a true return to democracy, this is the way.

1. One of the grievances in their Declaration is...

...that corporations "have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them."

They don't have a list of solutions.
