I'm sorry, but that list is everything. Great, but literally everything. Not just protections for X and Y and Z, but literally "total government reform" as well. If your list of demands is so vague you'll never send a clear message and will struggle to gain support. I'm reminded of the Newsroom episode about Occupy Wall Street. You need clear leadership and direction. Something more concise like "civilian oversight commities in all branches with authority to order investigations and court trials" would be a huge move in the right direction. You need a clear addressing of the problem with realistic end goals and a way to get there - not a laundry list of hopes.
