If you could add an amendment to the constitution, what would it be?

What would you add?

Definitely this one as soon as possible:
3. Campaign contributions to any candidate for office in the United States government from any entity shall not exceed those limits set for citizens. Corporations, companies, unions, PACs and other organizations shall not be considered citizens.

Then these:
4. Limit Supreme Court seats to a single 9-year term with one seat getting turned over every year. Justices would be chosen by lot from a pool of candidates. The amendment would state the requisite qualifications needed (as decided by both houses of Congress). If you meet the criteria, and you want to be a Supreme Court justice, you enter your name in the pool. The most senior judge is chief justice.

2. The Electoral College should be abolished and presidents should be elected by popular vote.

Also one to apply all laws (especially insider trading prohibition) to members of Congress as well as the rest of us.

I was wondering when someone was going to notice this thread.

What thread?

I saw it but it was way too intellectually stimulating at the time. I read the article and found the NPR voters to be, on the whole, rational people. I was surprised.
