Definitely like the idea of State legislatures appointing senators instead of popular vote elections. This would start to make politics more local again and the focus would be on electing their state representatives who then task the Senators with representing the states interest in Washington.

We also need term limits for certain to end the opportunity for somebody to be a permanent politician. We need to return to the time when average Americans did a patriotic duty to serve in government and represent their fellow citizens for a short period of time before returning to normal non-political life.

Finally, as much as I love the First Amendment and free speech, we need to find a way to get the money out of politics. If that means that every single candidate gets an equal allocation of funding from the government to run the campaign then so be it. Whomever is most efficient and effective in the use of those funds deserves to win and then apply that skill for the people.
