That approach won't work in the US. The reason is that the US already has large numbers of software patents and any change in the criteria for issuing patents won't get rid of the existing ones.[2] In fact, these patents are not officially labeled as software patents. I say software patents but what do I really mean? Patents which might potentially apply to software. Patents which might potentially get you sued for writing software.
