Our biggest problem in US (my election reform notes)

I've determined the one thing that would help the country more than anything else - election funding reform. 

Campaign contributions should come from people not large corporate interests or unions or other self-involved groups. 

Election funding should only come from a person with a social security number.  Large groups are welcome to collect and submit these funds on the behalf of citizens.

Donation limit to be determined but should allow everyone nearly equal access, 5k? 

Further, everyone has access to their government account, via internet or mail, where they can track their donations, votes and participate in unbiased polls.  Other access to government could be gained from your account - writing your representatives, checking how they voted, checking your Social Security, tax info etc.
