I agree on both counts. But do they have to do this district at a time? No way to do it by state?
Find State Legislative people who are saying what you want to hear....and then vote them into the House of Representatives after you have firm proof that they are what they say they are...if you do, and they start drinking the koolaid from Washington D.C. then vote them out and vote someone else in....its tiring, I agree, but it's the only way to keep new blood coming in....
