I see money in politics being a "chicken and the egg" problem. The legislators who would have to pass the law getting money out of politics are the legislators who got in place by being good gaming the "money in politics" system.

How the heck do you even START to address a problem this deeploy rooted? I imagine you acknowledge this issue, since the name of your organization is "root strikers." Is there a practical step beyond "awareness" that can be taken?

I get that, I do. But there's a huge gap in this process:

Activists recognize a major problem that isn't getting addressed and take action to change it.

Average Americans hate all the Advertising and money in politics.

Average Americans recognize the problem and take action to change it.

What goes in "?"

That's a bit too passive though. The ? step can't be, "Sit back and wait for Americans to make the connection." Something needs to force it to the forefront. Court cases, bills, California Propositions, etc...
