Step one: No party affiliation on any ballot.

This would be a huge and much needed step in the right direction.

The biggest elephant in the room, however, is campaign finance reform. What we have now is legalized bribery, but I've yet to encounter another scheme that would eliminate the bribery dilemma without getting overly burdensome on free speech.

I am in favor of eliminating party primaries for president and replacing them with a single national open primary in October with a runoff in November.
