Demand that all General Election candidates for federal office are chosen by "Top Two" primaries.

Partisan politics must be diffused in Congress. The acrimony starts with Closed Primaries where only party members can choose who advances to the General Election. Nearly 38 percent of U.S. voters identify as independents - not R or D. In a Closed Primary system, independents must declare a party to get a ballot, or they cannot vote. Open Primaries, where candidates from both parties appear on one ballot, engender partisan cross-over voting to move forward the weakest, most controversial or least qualified candidate from one party to create an advantage for the other party. Only the Top Two Primary puts the voter, instead of the parties, in the driver's seat.
