What we need to do is get rid of these two political parties. Party politics doesn't belong in the House especially. Each representative should be 100% focussed on representing their STATE, not their political party.

Sure they and we have freedom of association, but we should choose NOT to associate with political parties for the house seats. Every state should have their own political party.

Maybe I'm reading you wrong...Senators, not House Representatives, were supposed to represent their State. House Representatives are the ones that are supposed to represent the people.

You've got that backwards. Representatives are supposed to represent the people, that's why each Congressional district is approximately the same population as any other. The Senators, with only two per state regardless of the population of the state, are supposed to represent their state.
