Instead of making a platform which would further solidify the role of lobbyists in American politics, why don't we make a platform which puts a spotlight on the shady dealings of Washington?
A tool which aggregated all legislation moving through both the House and the Senate along with the supporters and opponents of each would benefit the public's ability to keep an eye on what Congress does.
Done right, giving such visibility to the Democratic process could go a long way toward fixing it.

We should be making a platform to crowdsource the hiring of lobbyists.
