As Jim says, we already have a representative in the House. The purpose of the legislative elected Senate was to make the senators beholden to the States and not special interests. As he said, can you call your senator and get him on the phone? The newspapers and television stations can and the lobbyists with big bucks can.

If the senators were not beholden to the public, they would not be swayed by public opinion. Hopefully, our state legislatures will be motivated by the shear gree of the federal goverment.

Not being swayed by public opinion cuts both ways. How might things have gone with shamnesty had our opinions not counted?
