That's a good start but I just don't believe claims of any group that they will be immune to lobbyists and special interests. Close down the above the table payoffs and folks will get more creative with the below the table options.
I like some of the planks in the Green Party platform, but honestly, they're not going to be the party that gets us out of this mess. I can't imagine that they will ever be able to shed the image of being left wing kooks.
In the last presidential election, the Green Party candidate brought in (rounding to the nearest integer) ZERO PERCENT* of the vote! A clean sweep! No, hang on a sec. Maybe I have that backwards... jk
(*actual percentage was 0.12%. No, not twelve percent, but twelve one hundredths of one percent)
