But there isn't a voting reform in the world that will fix our biggest problem. Someone once said, We don't need voter registration, we need candidate registration. But why are our candidates so bad? We blame the media, the big-money primaries, the two-party lockdown, and all those are factors. But the one thing we can do differently, all of us can do it, and do it now, is organize - get together with other people, face to face, and demand better. Better healthcare (universal), better wages (and job protections, unions), better education (smaller class sizes, not funded by property taxes, etc), better & saner & more humanitarian foreign policy that doesn't turn the whole world against us, and so on.

We may think we're doing that, but putting a sign in your front yard or a bumpersticker on your car, ain't it. If we want it, we have to make it happen, and stop waiting for rich politicians to do it for us.

We can start our own groups, but there are already groups in every community - unions and others - where we can start.
