9. public financing of elections
after the dlc kills - in one way or another - (I hope this doesn't happen) the public option, ethical Dems need to mount a nationwide campaign to support true Democratic candidates opposing them in the primaries. Within this breakaway movement, we need to keep in the public eye the connection between lobbyists and how our reps are voting.

The same national discussion we are having with the collapse of health care in America, we need to have with bought and sold politicians and getting rid of private financing, period.

How repugs and blue dogs are paid for is destroying the viability of our country.
