Or four, or five. 

For much more on this, I fervently recommend the following book:

      The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break
      Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy

      by Katherine M. Gehl, Michael E. Porter

This is a Big Deal. I believe the League should explore these
