Let’s elect Representatives and Senators and send them to Washington D.C. and have them vote on issues on our behalf.
What’s that you say? You say that we already have such a form of government? You really think so? Guess you have not been paying attention.
What we have now is a House of Representatives and a Senate where two individuals decide what the other 433 Representative and Senators will vote on. If these two guys see that they do not have enough votes to carry their side, they do not allow any vote to even take place.
The Smartfella’s Question Of The Day...
Why Do We Have The Other 433 Representatives and Senators?
If we did not bother electing, paying, housing and flying the 433 back and forth, we would save a lot of money.
Anytime change is contemplated in Washington there are always Special Interest Groups that bring pressure to bear to protect their narrow self interest. This idea of mine will certainly devastate one very influential industry and we can expect their spirited opposition... The Happy Hour Industry.
Would I kid u?

"... on our behalf..."?? You are daft!! That would mean that they listen to us, change their mind, or at least their vote, to the voice of the constituents. That would be FLIP-FLOPPING - the greatest offense imaginable! Nobody can get elected who LISTENS!
Yea I know what you mean, Herr Ludwig. Years ago I left the Sunday Morning Talk Shows in the midst of their Sunday Morning Hysteria. I told my wife to call me back when she heard one proponent say to another proponent, "I see your point. I agree with your argument. You have changed my mind." I stayed away for quite awhile but eventually slithered back in but I have yet to hear someone say, "I see your point. I agree with your argument. You have changed my mind."
