Government exists to serve the people. And in our representative democracy, the people we elect should be in touch with the issues their constituents are facing. More than half of the members in Congress are millionaires. More of Congress is 70+ than ever before (there are also 19 octogenarians and one 91-year old).

At the same time, our current election system is broken. Campaign finance laws that benefit the wealthy, rampant gerrymandering, voter suppression tactics, and an electoral college that makes millions of people feel that their votes don't matter.

What do we do about it?

• Establish term limits for Congress.

• Set age limits for federal officials.

• Campaign finance reform that undoes the impact of Citizens United and sets reasonable campaign spending limits so corporations and the ultra-rich can't buy our elections.

• Abolish the electoral college.

• Pass the Fair Representation Act, which would ensure fair representation for all Americans, reduce polarization, and end partisan gerrymandering.

• Automatically register every American citizen to vote.

• Make Election Day a National Holiday.

• Set nationwide standards for ID accessibility.
