I wrote some of my state legislators that are also friends about what Washington State cold do about money in politics. I specifically asked if the state could institute some method to publicly fund state elections.
I got a well reasoned explanation that the Supreme Court decision applied to state elections too so there is no way our state could attempt to fix the outcome of the Citizens United decision.
When a hacker takes control of a computer, they say that computer is 'pwned' (pronounced powned, just 'owned' with a 'p' in front). Well it looks like our fine political system will be pwned for quite some time.
Time for a US ammendment...
