As a political party

As a political party, you can’t run on corruption if you’re not running for reform. But as near as I can tell there is no Democratic reform proposal in Congress. Maybe this or that representative or senator has some proposal, but nothing that the opposition party in any way, as a whole, has gotten behind.

So where’s the plan?

How will we know that a reform plan goes far enough? When a lot of members of the Democratic caucus have to be dragged to it kicking and screaming.

I just set up this thread over at TPMCafe to discuss this. Tell us a few concrete, straightforward proposals that you think could go some real way to cleaning up today’s Washington.
