I believe that, should Americans begin to wake up, we could looking at a reform of the way America is run. No, not a change in the government system, but a way to make the congressionals and the president more accountable for their actions in office, much of what it is like in Europe. I believe that we could see a reinsitution of the "fairness doctrine." And, hopefully, a bring back to the issues that all Americans care about: price control, gas price control, health care and social security.

3. Oh, I completely agree with Election Reform. That's necessary to me. |

Which is probably why I forgot to write anything about it.

5. I'm a bit more concerned about fleeing the next false flag attack. |
|
But I've got a few ideas about reform, too (far too lengthy to enumerate).
Revoking corporate personhood, transparent elections with integrity, proportional representation in the legislature, replacing the executive with a council (with more proportional representation), and so on all strike me as potentially useful measures.

First thing's first, is get privatization out of the voting process. I think Washington has gotten some real progress on this move! http://www.verifiedvoting.org
