That said, there's one main issue, reforming the US government and campaigns/elections.  As long as we have the current lobbyist and corporate money dominated system, it's incredibly difficult to move anything forward on a national level.  We probably need Constitutional tweaks to House and Senate apportionment, public financing of campaigns and a new voting rights act.

I agree strongly with this. It's hard to see anything major getting done when energy gets diluted through restrictive voting laws to undemocratic representation/excessive veto points and then to a thoroughly corrupt legislature.

There also definitely should be a focus on combating rent-seeking; it's just sick to read some of the proposals floating out in the open.
