Problem [Edit]
Corporate/Special interests control the legislature of the USA. The convention clause of the US Constitution was written to prevent this. All fifty states have applied for the Article V Convention, the trick is to get this idea of coming together in a convention to a tipping-point majority of Americans. A popular documentary can do this. http://www.articlev.org
Action [Edit]
We have the green light from UCSB, we have three parliamentarians to administer Robert's Rules of Order to the deliberative assembly, and we have a long list of college students ready to participate.
Results [Edit]
A documentary of a deliberative assembly of young Americans will generate the awareness needed to cause an actual convention in America. Doing that would allow for consensus and alternative ideas to emerge.
Limitations [Edit]

Please note what limitations exist that would make implementing the solution ineffective or counter productive? Are there any specific barriers to adopting the solution?
E.g. "The use of wood to cook can be highly culturally dependent. For example, some communities have specific rituals for cooking which require open fires, changing the cooking stove can change the taste of food and make it harder to prepare food. Be sure to conduct thorough test studies before implementing a large-scale project so that this solution will work at scale in your project area. We recommend adapting this solution to meet the needs of your situation – such as providing micro-financing to buy stoves in areas with incomes below US$3/day."
