1) Proportional representation -
Each district should be bigger and elect a number of representatives, in a similar fashion to the senate but based on equal divisions of the population. This will also have the effect of breaking the two party system.
2) Capped government provided funding for campaigning -
This should limit the effect of money on the ability to disseminate the candidates platform for election, and steer the issues more towards their merit than audio volume.

How does this break the two-party system since the Senate you hold up as the example engages in the two-party system just as much as the House? Why is the House the sole problem and no other branches of government are involved in the problems? 2. Government provided funds is not the problem with campaign funds. This would likely increase the amount of money from the private sector which is often the problem. Obama took the ultimate cap on government funds in his first election, he refused all of it. He won handily with a rather large war chest.
