Corrupt U.S. Political System Badly Broken, Needs Reform

Our entire political system is broken and is badly in need of major reforms.

REFORMS:

1. Overturn Citizens United.
2. All political donors identities must be publicly disclosed.
3. All states must use a federal system of uniform voting laws.
4. Grant the FEC the power to enforce a federal Uniform Voting System.
5. Form impartial committees to draw unbiased voter districts.
6. Elections must be federally funded.
7. All political debates must be hosted by C-Span, who will assign unbiased inquisitors.
8. All political commercials must be produced by C-Span.
9. Unlimited donations may be made to the Federal Campaign Finance System.
10. Donations to individual political campaigns shall not exceed an amount set by the FEC.
11. All political parties are dissolved.
12. Electoral College system abandoned in favor of popular vote.
13. Use paper ballots.

If a qualified candidate organization wanted to produce a political commercial they would have to apply with C-Span for resources like studio access and other necessities for production. The commercial produced would be made available to the various media outlets, who then could air them and make commentary.

As things stand now with political debate and commercials, there is too much of a profit motive there for the media outlets. Perfectly qualified candidates are priced out of the market for commercial airtime. The debates have become a commercial extravaganza, whose political motives are entirely secondary to the profit motive. I believe the C-Span hosted debates should be made available in real time to all media networks, and they must be aired without modification.

Political debates for the public's consumption, and political commercials should have their freedom of speech restricted. NO LYING TO THE PUBLIC!

False statements uttered to the public by political candidates in campaign commercials, political interviews and debates should not have 1st Amendment protections.

Any lie uttered to the public with the purpose of swaying the public's opinion must not be tolerated. The public deserves to have nothing but the most accurate information so that they may make a truly informed decision when voting. The public must have nothing but the truth.

When a political candidate purposefully lies to the public, or otherwise makes a false statement, they have betrayed the public trust and are not fit to serve.
