Simple you might say, like 999, but powerful, effective, and would change things radically in Washington! What is it?....
The 3-1 Challenge:
It's time we impose our own term limits this coming election. Any House Rep incumbent who's been in office 3 terms (equals 6 years), vote out. Any Senator who has served longer than 1 term (equals 6 years) vote out. Eliminate the ability for lobbyists and big money to coerce our representation.
Oh no, does that mean voting out people who may represent our ideas? YES. They may represent our ideas, but they have been also bought and paid for, swayed, and are too imbedded in the cronyism that is currently destroying this democracy. I'm expecting a big fat sigh, but hell, how do you expect things to change?
But what about having seasoned leadership? The wisest of men, George Washington, self-imposed a two term limit on his presidency. Seasoned leadership leads to corruption, as we well know.
Vote out a Democrat and replace with Republican? That's not the idea. I propose a surge of activism within the nation's political committees to support and run alternative candidates to the incumbents. The machine needs to be tweaked, re-oiled, and tuned-up. This includes the local committees to be shaken up, tough, but possible, if enough people shout.
Here are some links to activist sites for more info:

Okay, I'm prepared for the onslaught of comments, like...yeah, yeah, we know or that's what we have been doing, or this is stupid. I want to keep pushing this agenda, and what better way to get the discussion rolling.
