To make money IRRELEVANT to elections, EMPOWER INDEPENDENTS, and END the DOMINANCE of SPECIAL INTERESTS, we need to establish a national Voting Advice Network, harnessing the power of social media to give citizens voting advice (only) from organizations and analysts they TRUST--easily and conveniently.
Because citizens receive advice only after subscribing to an analyst's "feed", they never receive unsolicited communications. But they always receive ALL advice from those they trust. And because advice that doesn't matched their ballot choices is ignored, they are never spammed with recommendations they don't care about, and can't act on.
With this system, independents will be empowered with information from trusted sources, ending the era of expensive ads and "sound bite" politics.
