Getting candidates to agree in principal to campaign finance change is one thing. Ironing out the details could be the real nightmare. How will you keep lobbyists from preventing anything meaningful from passing? Don't lobbying reform and campaign finance reform need to go hand-in-hand? The lobbyists are so powerful now and have zero incentive to change the system. I can't imagine anything more important for our country than what MAYDAY is attempt to achieve, but I'm so pessimistic the powers who benefit from the existing system won't be able to prevent it from happening. Give me some hope!
