Open the debates and primaries to more than 2 parties. Enact a fair elections act, allowing media coverage of all political parties and ideologies, if no media station picks it up create a government station that does. This act must make elections more fair and representative. I stand for justice and democracy. How can we hold wall street and Corporations accountable for their injustices against humanity if the people in control of our government are sponsored by those very same people. We need a party by the people and for the people not by the media for the corporations. Untie under the cause of reforming our government.

-Education needs to be free or almost free. How can a democracy function without the education of the very people that control it. We must educate our children and make our economy smarter and more competitive with the global market. We must tailor our universities to the highest education possible in the best conditions possible, and not spend most thier funds just trying to boost enrollment . SMALL CLASS SIZE. BEST LIVING CONDITIONS. BEST JOB PREPARATION.

-Media must protect us from the harms of corrupt politicians and corporations, not brainwash us into being either democrat or republican. Media must inform us of all candidates and all issues in a logical and factual way, and not turn politics into banter and gossip. Also there must be significant representation to all partys and all protests. Why are there only two parties that everyone know are corrupt?! Why do tea party protests get instant headlines whereas occupy wall street took weeks to get piked up by major news? Campaign advertisements should be free and anyone should be able to run. Only the best and brightest lawmakers and decision makers should be elected, another reason education is to be highly stressed.

-People need to be educated about voting and the importance of the vote. From elementary school through college. Why do we elect officials in a democracy with less than half the population. Everyone needs to vote. This is another reason education is highly stressed and on top.

-We need to invest in our own infrastructure. We need to end our endless messy and arguably unproductive wars. And start paying companies who rebuild transport, communication and Urban development. Bring our communities together through internet and allow people to be updated on community events and news.

Help create a peoples party. We cannot let Capitalism go unchecked. Create a party that Allows Capitalism, but does not allow capitalism to run its party. We need expert lawyers, economists and politicians who adhere to the by the people for the people ideology. We are in this together. vote for the people.
