I applaud and will follow with great anticipation The Democracy Solutions Project initiated by the Sun-Times. My suggestion is an easy start and finish to the problems we are facing on the political frontier. Any investigation into solutions to problems with our current two-party system should begin and will end with appropriate campaign finance reform.
Politicians are very adept at evading changes to campaign financing, but they should be willing to investigate such changes given the current political landscape. By now, politicians should be very weary of having to go through cycles of fundraising and coordinating (or pretending not to coordinate) with political action committees to finance their campaigns.
