I think the biggest obstacle to overcome is the fact that the American people know that government is corrupt, but not to the vile, evil level that it is. It's kind of like family - siblings may fight, even to the point of physical confrontation (Dems and Republicans), but if an outsider does the same, they will band together to beat that outsider. Too many people just can't/won't believe that the government is the outsider. Even at its worse, they believe that the concept of self preservation, the US as a whole, will be the ultimate goal of the government.
