How best to express most succinctly what the problem is for both left and right?

Here's an idea: Let the spirit of Reform be our watchword.
The problem is that over the last several decades both parties, Presidents and lawmakers alike, have forgotten and abandoned principles, have become enamored with power and position, and have put politics over policy.
What we want are institutional reforms for a Congress and an Executive branch that have grown increasingly arrogant and corrupt.
We want politicians who will put the public interest first, who will champion national issues, not local pork projects or the creature comforts of high office.
