Restoring democracy back in DC

So what changes are the protesters actually advocating? What does "democracy reform" look like? We've been working on this question for the past year, and offer two answers:

1) Reduce the undue influence of Big Money in politics, and,

2) Get more people voting and participating in governing the country.

Simply put, we need to stop politicians from being bribed while we get more people involved in our democracy. If we do this, we will see a profound shift in policy outcomes in every issue we care about: from taxation to spending; from consumer protections to financial reform. Huff Post
Josh Silver and Nick Penniman, the authors, write almost a thousands words on the subject of democracy and fail to note the malproportionment in the Senate.
