    You have 1 wish to change government

    What do you do. This wish can be a law, it can be anything you want it to be aside from make yourself king cause **** you, you suck.

    For me I'd make it a constitutional amendment to repeal the effects of Citizen's United. No unlimited donations from corporations, no hiding in PACs, etc. The ridiculousness of In 1976 PAC finances were 34.1M, by 2012 it rose to 425.5M, the median income in 1976 was 45.595 now it' 52,195. If that doesn't scream an issue, people aren't seeing the bigger picture. We the people have become We the few with enough power to buy elections and favors and keep down the rest.

    I'd make it a constitutional amendment forbidding campaign commercials. In addition to having to watch Georgia play with its thumb up its ass all day, I was treated to a barrage of attack ads. No vision offered whatsoever. Just "this asshole sucks." I'm voting straight Libertarian on the ticket Tuesday because **** the rest of them. I'm sick of it. Just shut the hell up. We don't need a Congress or governor or anything.

    Basically, Nathan Deal's abysmal record on ethics doesn't matter. Jason Carter and Michelle Nunn will be "independent thinkers." Lulz. And worst of all, people throughout rural Georgia where I'm from will vote for Perdue, who supports policies that have absolutely destroyed those same places.

    If you repeat something enough times people will believe it, even if they only kind of believe it. Not to mention they're built to pander to a target audience using specific tactics.

    I was gonna try not to be a cynical ass but holy **** batman, that's moronic. Or college kids, interns, retirees, etc. can't vote? Jesus christ.

    Not to mention, since less than 50% of american's vote, I have a hunch the people who don't work make up a lot of that. Unless you count old people.

    Interns and college students can't work at least one day a year? Retirees would have retired from a job, so they'd be eligible to vote

    No two party system. Have three parties so it is uneven.
