I really want to like…

This Fix Congress First business. The case for “The Fair Elections Now Act” video is compelling. The act it’s self seems reasonable and needed.

Unfortunately it’s not in the self intrest of congress to fix congress. That’s where it falls apart.

Maybe I’m too cynical… I don’t know.

It seems to me that none of the issues that have made congress ineffectual are going to get solved without a real third party (no splintery “new democrats” or “new republicans”) that’s a strong third party (no running for president without some members in congress – no members in congress until there are x members in state legislatures).

That’s a much longer and complicated road…
