Reversing the 2010 Citizens United decision would be a good start. Campaign finance reform (the flavor espoused by Bernie Sanders, perhaps) would be another great step. Unfortunately the recent history in this realm is one of dismantling the apparatuses that kept the exchange rate of money to political influence high. Crony, corrupt, corporate-subsidy capitalism rules, and politics is its servant.

I like what represent.us is doing pushing for 'anti-corruption acts' across America. If you watch their progress it really is having an effect on democracy.

Enacting something like that in congress would be a HUGE win for America.
