Congress needs to end its dependence on all special interest money

the first thing would be to get rid of Citizen's United..... then to get all campaigns publicly funded..... then to have limited campaign periods..... have open voting that franchises as many voters as possible...... severely limit lobbying

we might actually get a government that gives a damn about the people they supposedly represent.

The root of the problem is private campaign contributions, especially from corporations and PAC's. We need to switch to publicly funded campaigns where each candidate gets the same amount to work with. I also think we should restrict the amount of time that a candidate can actively campaign. At the very least, it would ensure that our representatives stay in Washington and do the job we paying them to do.
