How about just making congress a part time organization of say 90

president would have the power to call them to session at times of
emergency.

Make all PAC's and organizations like them illegal. No
contributions
from any organizations at all. Just from citizens, and put a limit
on
that too. Need to get the government back in the hands of the
people.

I'm not sure that banning PACs would be a good thing. They're similar
in nature to a labor union--collective bargaining for the voters.

Take every lobbyists and stick a huge pole up their ass and then
display them in front of the congressional headquarters buildings.
Hopefully they won't actually like it.

Then, change the voting rules so that only people within the middle
class income range can vote. Only income from actual work counts.
Interest, dividends, stock sales, etc. don't count. No more
freeloaders and no more richies. Just the so-called "average joe".

So the day one retires one becomes disenfranchised? Poor people don't
get a say? The people who _employ_ those workers don't get a vote?
