With the state of modern communications there is no need for them to go to Washington at all. They can and should remain in their home districts and work at their real jobs. Making law should not be a full time activity, though a case can be made for a full time repeal of laws. A distributed legislature would also make lobbying much less convenient for the powers that be.

You beat me to it. A fantastic idea. Also, John Q. Citizen could log on and monitor much of the proceedings. Might not be much to observe at first but it sure would inform John Q. as to what the members of House and Senate are doing or not doing.

I like your idea. Especially the repeal part. Lets start by repealing them this November. Repeal the whole bunch.

Salaries and compensation could be cut to reflect the savings in housing, security and travel.
