Help! I'm stuck in the realm of possibility. [1]

The oligarchy is upon us, and it's largely due to the Powell Memo written by white-shoe attorney Lewis Powell (later appointed by Nixon to the Supreme Court) and passed around by the US Chamber of Commerce to all the major corporations. But you all know that and you know how various rulings about corporate political privilege culminated with Citizens United decreeing, “One dollar, one vote.”
I figured a way legislatures at every level could restructure campaign finance regulation to level the playing field. Remarkable features about the system is that its laws don’t apply to the candidates, that timid legislatures could inaugurate it race by race, and that the whole regulatory system is based upon the chokepoint in campaign finance.
But I haven’t yet found anyone who’s interested in it. So I created a game— named “Honestly?”— that people can play to learn about the cancerous defects of the present system and about how the new system works. If they’re curious enough to play the game, they might be curious enough to investigate and promote the system.
And now my problem is: How do I find people who might want to try play it?
If you’d like to get a free copy of it in its homemade form, drop a postcard to PO Box 665, Springfield, Vermont 05156 with your return address on it. Any feedback you might have about it, I’d love to hear it. And— bonus point— if you feel you could get rich off marketing it, I’d be happy to give you the whole project.
